Question 90378: How can I Find the slope of the line passing through the points (�2, 1) and (3, 9). and show in a graph? thank you in advance for your help
Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
THE SLOPE IS FOUND BY (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1). THUS:
(9-1)/(3+5)=8/8=1 WHICH IS THE SLOPE OF THE LINE PASSING THROUGH THESE 2 POINTS.
1=1*-2+b
1=-2+b
b=1+2
b=3
thus we have the line equation of: y=x+3
now we need to find the y intercept by substituting one set of point x & y values into the line formula [Y=mX+b] and solve for b which isthe y intercept:
