Question

2. What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (-0.92, 2.49) and (-5.62, 9.76)? Write your answer in point-slope form.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

-0.92 2.49

-5.62 9.76

Rise = 9.76 - 2,49 = 7.27

Run: -5.62 - (-0.92) = -4.7

Slope (Rise/Run) = (7.27.`-0.92) = -1.55

The line has the form:

y = 1.55x + b

We need to find a value of b that forces the line through both point, Use one of the points and solve for b. I'll use (-0.92, 2.49).

y = 1.55x + b

2.49 = 1.55(-0.92) + b

b = 2.49 - 1.426 = 1.064

The equation is y = 1.55x + 1.0
