Question 397828: write the equation of the line that contains the indicated pair of points. Express the final equation in standard form. (2,5),(8,12) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! write the equation of the line that contains the indicated pair of points. Express the final equation in standard form. (2,5),(8,12)
-----
slope = (12-5)/(8-2) = 7/6
------------
Form: y = mx + b
Substitite and solve for "b":
5 = (7/6)2+b
b = 5-(7/3)
b = (15/3)-(7/3)
b = 8/3
=========
Equation:
y = (7/6)x+(8/3)
