Question 125505: Write an equation of the line through the given points.
(1,5),(0,6)
Any help with the given equation would Greatly appreciated. Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIRST WE FIND THE SLOPE (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
(6-5)/(0-1)=1/-1=-1 IS THE SLOPE OF THIS LINE.
NOW REPLACE X & Y IN THE LINE EQUATION BY ONE SET OF COORDINATES & SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT(b).
6=-1*0+b
6=b SO WE HAVE THE LINE EQUATION
Y=-X+6 (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 6, y from -10 to 10, y = -x +6).
