First let's find the slope of the line through the points )
and )
Note: )
is the first point . So this means that and .
Also, )
is the second point . So this means that and .
Start with the slope formula.
So the slope of the line that goes through the points and is
Now let's use the point slope formula:
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
