Question

Find the equation of a line with the given points. (Put your answers in the form y = mx + b.)


(6, 2)
(5, 5)

Answer 1

first find the slope.. can u find it ?
\[slope = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} -x_{1} }\]

Answer 2

then u can use point slope form... since u know the coordinates..

Answer 3

\[slope = \frac{ 5-2 }{ 5-6 }\]
\[slope =-3\]

Answer 4

now the standered form of a function is
y = mx + b
where
m = slope
b = intercept...
now since u know the slope
y= -3x + b
to find be u can use
(6 , 2)
if u plug them in to ur equation
6 =-3(2) + b
b = 12
so... the equation is
y = -3x + 12

got it :) ?

Answer 5

thank you
