: how do i find the slopes of the lines that pass through the following pairs of points?
a) (1,2)(3,5)
given that slope of the line and point of the line how do i find the equation for each line?
a) a line of slope 4 passing through the point (0,2)
thank you for any help you may have on this This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the slopes of the lines that pass through the following pairs of points?
a) (1,2)(3,5)
slope = change in y/change in x
slope = (5-2)/(3-1) = 3/2
------------------------
given that slope of the line and point of the line how do i find the equation for the line?
The equation form is y=mx+b. You now know m= 3/2 and y=2 when x=1 so you get:
2 = (3/2)*1 + b
Therefore b = 1/2
So the equation is y = (3/2)x+(1/2)
----------------------------------
a) a line of slope 4 passing through the point (0,2)
Form of the line is y=mx+b and you know
m= 4 and y= 2 when x = 0.
2 = 4*0+b
b=2
-------------
EQUATION:
y = 4x+2
