through: (2,1) , Slope= 2
Find an equation of a line?
yes , Im Having Trouble On Theese Type of Problems @iPwnBunnies
Ok, use the point-slope equation to build an equation for a line. \[y - y1 = m(x-x1)\] Where (x1,y1) is the given point and 'm' is the slope.
so how do I set the problem up
Plug in the numbers, then expand it, then solve for y. \[y - 1 = 2(x-2)\]
so y=2x-3
Yes. :)
thats all i have to do for theese types of problems
Ok, well, you got it.
Thanks So Much , One More Question If I have A Problem With No Slope Then How Do I Set It Up Same Way ... Ex: Through (0,2) and (-4,1)
You'll have to find the slope of the line formed between the two points, using slope formula. Then, choose a point, and use the point-slope equation again.
\[slope = \frac{Y2 - Y1}{X2 -X1}\] Where (X1,Y1) is one point and (X2,Y2) is the other point.
