Question

Rate and change of Slope?

anonymous · Answer

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

teddyiswatshecallsme · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

idk...

teddyiswatshecallsme · Answer

are there multiple choice options?

anonymous · Answer

Nope

What online school do you go to?

anonymous · Answer

You can find it, it is very simple..

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

There are two more ways actually :

Find Slope using : $$Slope (m) = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$$

anonymous · Answer

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.. :)

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

anonymous · Answer

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.. :)

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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 $b$..
