Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (x1,y1)=(3,5) and (x2,y2)=(-1,10)
:
We need a slope (m) and a point to make the equation of a line:
If we have two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) we can find the slope with the slope formula:

:
Now that we have a slope to go with a point we can use the point-slope formula , where m=slope and (x1,y1) is a given point, to make an equation of a line:
