What’s the equation for a line passing through points (-1, 4.5) and (6, 8)?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

Given points ( -1 , 4.5 ) and ( 6 , 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

first we should calculate slope 

Slope ( m) 

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

= ( 8 - 4.5 ) / ( 6 + 1 )

= 3.5/7

= 0.5

Now the equation of line is given by 

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 4.5 = 0.5 ( x + 1 )

( y - 4.5 ) = 0.5 ( x + 1)

y - 4.5 = 0.5x + 0.5

y = 0.5x + 0.5 + 4.5

y = 0.5x + 5

What is a linear equation in math?

A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.
There are three major forms of linear equations: point-slope form, standard form, and slope-intercept form. We review all three in this article.
Some of the examples of linear equations are 2x – 3 = 0, 2y = 8, m + 1 = 0, x/2 = 3, x + y = 2, 3x – y + z = 3.

$\frac{3^{2} * 3^{-5} }{4^{2} } = \frac{3^{-3} }{4^{-2} }$
