Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (0, 9) and (1, 11)



Answer: Slope is



Solved by pluggable solver: FIND a line by slope and one point

What we know about the line whose equation we are trying to find out:

  • it goes through point (0, 9)

  • it has a slope of 2



First, let's draw a diagram of the coordinate system with point (0, 9) plotted with a little blue dot:



Write this down: the formula for the equation, given point and intercept a, is

(see a paragraph below explaining why this formula is correct)

Given that a=2, and , we have the equation of the line:



Explanation: Why did we use formula ? Explanation goes here. We are trying to find equation y=ax+b. The value of slope (a) is already given to us. We need to find b. If a point (, ) lies on the line, it means that it satisfies the equation of the line. So, our equation holds for (, ): Here, we know a, , and , and do not know b. It is easy to find out: . So, then, the equation of the line is: .

Here's the graph:
