Question 887412
Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (1, 2).
.
slope between two points:
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2-4)/(1-2)
m = (-2)/(-1)
m = 2
.
Now, use the slope (2) and either of the two given points (1,2) and plug it into the "point-slope" form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 2(x - 1)
y - 2 = 2x - 2
y = 2x (solution)
