Which is the equation of the line?

OpenStudy (kohai):

The easiest way to do this is to use the point-slope form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please help me to get the answer

OpenStudy (kohai):

Yes. But I'm not going to give you the answer outright :p

OpenStudy (kohai):

The equation you want to use is y-y1=m(x-x1). Does that look familiar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im in 6th grade

OpenStudy (kohai):

Okay, awesome. So m is the slope. What is the slope of this line do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y?

OpenStudy (kohai):

It's an actual number. Do you know how to calculate slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no can youbplease helpme

OpenStudy (kohai):

The formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So pick two points and plug them in to calculate it. Here's an example okay? |dw:1424245624571:dw| Does that make sense?
