Question

Solve each. Show all necessary work.

8. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through (10.21) and (15.36)

Answer 1

y = 3x - 9

Explanation:

First, find the slope using y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

36 - 21 = 15

15 - 10 = 5

15/5 = 3, so the slope (m) is 3.

Now, plug into point-slope form: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y - 21 = 3 (x - 10)

Simplify

y - 21 = 3x - 30

y = 3x - 9

I hope this helps!!
