Question

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. (1, 1) and (3, 4)

Answer 1

Hey there, here you should use the point slope form. Do you know the point slope form?

Answer 2

\[\Huge y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 3

First, you need to find the slope.
Slope is \[\Huge \frac{ y _{2}- y _{1}}{ x _{2}- x _{1}}\]

Answer 4

(1-3)=m(1-4)?

Answer 5

(1-3)/(1-4)=0.666666667

Answer 6

Not quite, you should do
(4-1)/(3-1) = m

Answer 7

(4-1)/(3-1) = m ok then what

Answer 8

Then, you plug in one of your points to the point slope form!

Answer 9

Let's choose the point (1, 1)

Answer 10

Equation of the point slope form would be:\[\Huge y-1=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }(x-1)\]

Answer 11

but why 3/2 though when it equals -2/-3
