Question 266011: Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points: (1/6,-1/3)and (5/6,3) What is the equation of the line? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points:
(1/6,-1/3)and (5/6,3)
---------------
1st find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx = (-1/3 - 3)/(1/6 - 5) = (-10/3)/(-29/6)
m = 20/29
-----------
Use y = mx + b and either point to find b:
3 = (20/29)*(5/6) + b
b = 37/87
------------
y = (20/29)x + 37/87 slope-intercept form
60x - 87y = -37 standard form
