Write the equation of a line which contains the point (4,3) and (2,5). Hint: Remember you must first find the slope and then use the point slope formula for this type of problem.

OpenStudy (muzzack):

well use the formula y-y1=x(x1-x2)

OpenStudy (muzzack):

first find the rate of change

OpenStudy (muzzack):

y1-y2 over x1-x2

@Muzzack

OpenStudy (muzzack):

yes now do it 3-5 = ? 4-2 = ?

OpenStudy (muzzack):

after that you know have your slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3-5=-2 4-2=2

OpenStudy (muzzack):

so -1

OpenStudy (muzzack):

so your slope is -1 now add it to your other formula y-y1=slope(x1-x2)

OpenStudy (muzzack):

and you have your answer hoped that helped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you do with the 'x' part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Muzzack

OpenStudy (muzzack):
