Question

Enter the equation of the line meeting the given conditions. Please put the equation in standard form. Containing E(4, 3) and F(6, 1)

Answer 1

First, we'll want to find the slope of the line. Do you know how to find the slope between two points?

Answer 2

not really

Answer 3

i suck at math bad

Answer 4

Ok, the slope between two points is the change in their y values divided by the change in their x values:
\[m=\frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }=\frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }\]

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

i need this done to graduate by tomorrow

Answer 7

Ok, so can you plug in the coordinates of our points to find the slope between the points?

Answer 8

idk how too

Answer 9

Call point E as point 1, and point F as 2. Then the slope is:
\[\frac{ 1-3 }{ 6-4 }\]Basically, the difference in their y values over the change in their x values.

Answer 10

ok whats next

Answer 11

Evaluate that fraction. This is the slope.
