Question

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (2,3)(7,4). Use exact numbers. y-4=

Please help me, I would really appreciate it!

Answer 1

y-4=1/5(x-3)

Explanation:

We plug in the x's and the y's and find the slope with:

`(y-y_(1) )/ x-x_(1))=m`

Answer 2

The answer is

`y - 4 = (1)/(5) (x - 7)`

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line given two points first find the slope and use the formula

`y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1))`

Where m is the slope

To find the slope we use the formula

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

The slope of the line using points

(2,3)(7,4) is

`m = (4 - 3)/(7 - 2) = (1)/(5)`

Equation of the line using point (7,4) and slope 1/5 is

`y - 4 = (1)/(5) (x - 7)`

Hope this helps you
