First let's find the slope of the line through the points )
and )
Note: )
is the first point and )
is the second point .
Start with the slope formula.
Plug in , , , and
Subtract from to get
Subtract from to get
Reduce
So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is
Now let's use the point slope formula:
Start with the point slope formula
Plug in , , and
Distribute
Multiply
Add 1 to both sides.
Combine like terms.
Remove the trailing zero
So the equation that goes through the points and is
Notice how the graph of goes through the points and . So this visually verifies our answer.
Graph of through the points and
