Question

Write the equaiton of the line that passes through (3, 5) and (6, 6) in slope intercept form.

Answer 1

Alrighty, so slope intercept form is basically : y=mx+b, right?
So we definitely need to find the slope, which is basically the 'average' between points:
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
This way, we're finding the average change between the points. So:
6-5 / 6-3= 1 / 3
So our slope is 1/3
We could find the y-intercept, but there's an easier way:
we can put this in point-slope form where
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
let's plug in (3,5)
y - 5 = 1/3 (x - 3)
y - 5 = 1/3x - 1
y = 1/3x +4

You are the best!!!!!!!!
