Question

How to find the point-slope form of an equation that passes through two sets of points?

Answer 1

Given two points, say points A and B, we can use the slope formula to find the slop of the line:

`(y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

If A has coordinates of (w,c) and B has coordinates of (y,z), we can find the slope.

}{y-w} [/tex]

Now we can say that we can use the point slope form formula:

`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1))`

Now we can substitute m for the slope, and use any points to plug in
`x_(1)` and
`y_(1)`.

Hope this helps! :^)
