Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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

Answer:

The answer is

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{5} (x - 7)$

Step-by-step 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

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

The slope of the line using points

(2,3)(7,4) is

$m = \frac{4 - 3}{7 - 2} = \frac{1}{5}$

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

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{5} (x - 7)$
