Question

Given the points (2, 3) and (6, 8), write the point-slope form of the equation.
y - 3 = x - 2
y - 3 = 5/4 (x - 2)
y - 8 = 4/5 (x - 6)

Answer 1

first find slope given 2 points

Answer 2

The slope of the line through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by :
\(\huge m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\)
now,just put the values and find m.

Answer 3

@hartnn so is it y - 8 = 4/5 (x - 6)?

Answer 4

what did u get your slope as ?

Answer 5

@hartnn -2?

Answer 6

how ?

Answer 7

@hartnn by making a graph and putting the points on it
then getting the line on it
