Question

Write an equation of the line in point-slope form that passes through the given points.

(5,5) and (6,7)
An equation of the line is

Answer 1

Explanation:

point - slope formula: y - y1 = m(x-x1)

we need to find the slope ... or what is m ?

m = rise / run

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

where the given points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

m= 7-5 / 6-5

m = 2 / 1

m =2

now use either point and plug the slope and the point into the point-slope formula

y-5 =2(x-5) :)
