Question

Equation of a line that goes through the following points: (4,1) and (7,10)

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{10}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{10}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{7}-\underset{x_1}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{9}{3}\implies 3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{4}) \\\\\\ y-1=3x-12\implies y=3x-11`
