Question

What is the equation written in point slope form given (2,5) and (5,9)? y-y1=m(x-x1) (fill in the blanks y- = (x-)

Answer 1

(2,5) ==> x1 = 2, y1 = 5

(5,9) ==> x2 = 5, y2 = 9

slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (9 - 5)/(5 - 2) = 4/3

The slope form equation is:

y - y1 = m(x - 1)

If we use the values for this exercise:

y - 5 = (4/3)(x - 2)

Answer:

y - 5 = (4/3)(x - 2)
