Question

What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (2, 4) and (4, 10)?

Answer 1

A. y = −3x − 2
B. y = −3x + 2
C. y = 3x + 2
D. y = 3x − 2

Answer 3

first we find the slope by using slope formula
slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2,4)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 4
(4,10)...x2 = 4 and y2 = 10
mow we sub
slope(m) = (10 - 4) / (4 - 2)
slope(m) = 6/2
slope(m) = 3

now we use y = mx + b
we already know are slope(m) = 3 and we can use either set of points for out x and y
I will use (2,4)...x= 2 and y = 4
so all we need to find is b, our y intercept
now we sub
4 = 3(2) + b
4 = 6 + b
4 - 6 = b
-2 = b

so our equation is : y = 3x - 2
