Here's a graphing calculator if you need one: https://www.desmos.com/calculator c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Do you know the formula for slope? c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Slope formula : \[slope (m) = \frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

plug ion the points xs' and ys' into the slope formula c:

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

\[Point 1: ( 1, 1) \] \[Point 2: (7, 4)\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: the slope of the requested line is: \[\Large m = \frac{{{y_2} - {y_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}} = \frac{{4 - 1}}{{7 - 1}} = ...?\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

subsequently, you can apply this formula: \[\Large y - 1 = m\left( {x - 1} \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! so the requested equation is: \[\Large y - 1 = \frac{1}{2}\left( {x - 1} \right)\] please try to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=1/2x+1/2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the finals answer?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!
