Please help :)
Determine the slope of the line.
x y
2 1
4 6
6 11
8 16
10 21
12 26
14 31
Using the slope, write the equation o the linear function. Write it in point-slope.

ok so do u know the formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for slope that is
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah i do! but i tried testing it out with different ordered pairs and am getting different slopes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm lets see
so for the first two pairs heres the slope:
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait, i think i did something wrong oops let me double check

oops haha i got 5/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok good :3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes it is 5 /2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what do i do for point slope? i know the equation, but do i just use any order pair?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ordered pair*

formula=y2-y1\[y2-y1/x2-x1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes u can use any order paired
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so would it just be y-1=5/2(x-2) or y-1=5/2x-5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that how i write the equation of the linear function??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isn't that slope intercept

y – y1 = m(x – x1)
srry lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
haha its oK! so is my answer right? is that all i need for the equation?
