Question

Write in point-slope from an equation of the line through the pair of points (3,2) and (8,11) what is an equation of the line in point slope form ? And show work

Answer 1

Given the points (3,2) and (8,11)

We will write the point-slope form equation for the line passes through the given points

The slope of the line will be:

`slope=(rise)/(run)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(11-2)/(8-3)=(9)/(5)`

The point-slope equation will be:

`y-2=(9)/(5)(x-3)`

We can use the second point to write the equation:

`y-11=(9)/(5)(x-8)`
