Question

Consider the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (6, 11). Below are two different equations. Identify the true statement concerning both equations.
Equation #1 Equation #2
y -11 = 2(x - 6) y - 3 = 2(x - 2)

Answer 1

A.Only equation #1 represents the line that passes through the two given points.
B. Only equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.
C. Both equation #1 and equation #2 represent the line that passes through the two given points.
D. neither equation #1 nor equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points

Answer 2

eq 1 : y - 11 = 2(x - 6)
eq 2 : y - 3 = 2(x - 2)

do you know how to find the slope ?

Answer 3

slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2,3) x1 = 2, y1 = 3
(6,11) x2 = 6, y2 = 11
now plug these into your formula and find the slope

Answer 4

hello ???

Answer 5

yess i found out barely thanks

Answer 6

did you find the slope ?

Answer 7

yeah its B right or unless i did it wrong

Answer 8

let me check....hold on

Answer 9

m= (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (11 - 3) / (6 - 2)
m = 8/4
slope (m) = 2

now put it in this formula
y - y1 = m(x - x1) using points (2,3) and slope 2
y - 3 = 2(x - 2)
same thing here...using points(6,11) and slope 2
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 11 = 2(x - 6)

wrong....answer is not b it is c....they both work

Answer 10

do you have any questions ?

Answer 11

nope now i get it thankss :)

Answer 12

your welcome :)
