SOLUTION: The straight line y=mx+c passes through the points (0, k) and (h,2k) Express m and c in terms of h and k What I have tried A. B. .........................

Question 1203163: The straight line y=mx+c passes through the points (0, k) and (h,2k)
Express m and c in terms of h and k
What I have tried
A. B.
.........................
(0,k) (h, 2k)
(X1,Y1). (X2, Y2)
M= (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
M= k/h
Y-Y1=m(X-X1)
====
Y=kx/h +K
C=K

Y-Y1=m(X-X1)
====
Y=kx/h +K
C=K
===============================
Slope m = (2k-k)/(h-0) = k/h
---------------
(0,k) is the y-intercept, so c = k

The two points (0,k) and (h, 2k);

Directly to formula of slope,

Also using slope intercept form, and now having an expression found for slope m,
picking your first given point (0,k),
, which you could have jumpted through much more quickly;

Understand, first given point (0,k) indicates that vertical axis intercept is k.
You would not really need to SOLVE for c.

the straight line passes through the points (, ) and (,)

given : (,)=(,) and (,)=(,)

(,) is the -intercept, so
substitute in
and your equation is:
