Question

Given the points (2, 3) and (6, 8), write the point-slope form of the equation.

Answer 1

let's find the slope first
the slope between two points (x1,y1) ans (x2,y2) is
\[m = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1 }\]

so what's the slope between (2, 3) and (6, 8)

Answer 2

5/4?

Answer 3

correct
now we have to apply this formula to get the equation

\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]

Answer 4

Is it y - 3 =5/4 (x-2) ?

Answer 5

correct

Answer 6

thank you!

Answer 7

any time :)
