Question

How do I find the line that passes through two points?

Answer 1

Rate and change of Slope?

Answer 2

No.. I have to find the equation of the line that passes through (3,2) and (5,6)

Answer 3

Does it say to put in any equation format? Like slope intercept, point slope, or standard form?

Answer 4

idk...

Answer 5

are there multiple choice options?

Answer 6

Nope

Answer 7

What online school do you go to?

Answer 8

You can find it, it is very simple..

Answer 9

\[\frac{y-y_1}{y_2 -y_1} = \frac{x-x_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

Answer 10

Here, \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) are two points from which your line is passing..

Answer 11

Answer 12

There are two more ways actually :

Find Slope using : \[Slope (m) = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\]

Answer 13

Then it is your wish to use either \(y = mx + c\), or \(y-y_1 = m(x -x_1)\) which Shin told you on your previous question.. :)

Answer 14

@msbambygirl Am I talking to myself only?? :P

Answer 15

Is my information sufficient for you to get that line equation?? If yes, then try and post your final result here, and if not, then you can ask me any doubt you have.. :)

Answer 16

Okay so first I find the slope then just plug everything into y=mx+b?

Answer 17

If you are using \(y = mx + b\), then after finding the slope, you must find \(b\).

Just use any one point, let us say \((3,2)\), as \(x\) as \((x,y)\), and find \(b\)..
