Question

(1,2)(5,8) point slope form

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

y -2 = 3/2(x -1)

Explanation:

The slope formula tells you the slope:

m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

m = (8 -2)/(5 -1) = 6/4 = 3/2

Using the first point in the point-slope form ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line through (h, k) with slope m

y -2 = 3/2(x -1)
