@ganeshie8 Please help me

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Okay, so you need slope and a point to write out the equation.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you already have a point : P(1, 4)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

any ideas on how to find the slope ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the equation is \[m= y ^{2}-y ^{1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

over \[m=x ^{2}-x ^{1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But isn't the slope -2? @ganeshie8
