Question 937726
find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points. (3/4,5) , (5/4,2)
***
Slope intercept for of equation for a line y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given line:
slope=∆y/∆x=(5-2)/((3/4)-(5/4))=3/-2/4=-6
equation: y=-6x+b
solve for b using cordinates of one of the given points on the line(3/4,5)
5=-6*(3/4)+b
b=20/4+18/4=38/4=19/2
equation: y=-6x+19/2
