Question

WILL GIVE MEDAL
Given two points, write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form
(4,7),(-2,1)
PLEASE SHOW WORK

Answer 1

@raffle_snaffle can you help..?

Answer 2

you need the slope first
\[\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\] which in your case is
\[\frac{7-1}{4-(-2)}\] what do you get for this number?

Answer 3

6/6..?

Answer 4

yes, and what is \(\frac{6}{6}=?\)

Answer 5

1? hahahah

Answer 6

lol

Answer 7

now use the point slope formula
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] with
\[x_1=4,y_1=7\] and \(m=1\) so you don't really have to write \(m\) at all
you get
\[y-7=x-4\]

Answer 8

solve for \(y\) by adding \(7\) to both sides

Answer 9

3?
