Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given points.

A(4, 1), B(5, 2)

Answer 1

do you know how to find the slope? you need that first

Answer 2

yes i do

Answer 3

what did you get?

Answer 4

1

Answer 5

ok good

Answer 6

next, do you know the "point - slope" formula?

Answer 7

its the y-y1=M(x-x1)

Answer 8

right

Answer 9

i get all of that i just think im getting my math wrong

Answer 10

you can use either point \((4,1)\) or \((5,2)\)
plug in the numbers

Answer 11

which point did you use?

Answer 12

for the x i used 4 and the y i used 1

Answer 13

ok then
\[y-1=1(x-4)\] is a first step, but really the writing the 1 is silly so you can write \[y-1=x-4\]

Answer 14

okay

Answer 15

then if you need to solve for \(y\) add \(1\) to both sides

Answer 16

not sure what mistake you made before, but i hope it is clearer now

Answer 17

i dont know either just didnt look right to me

Answer 18
