If the line passes through the points $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2),$ then the slope of the line can be determined as

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.$

Then the equation of the line is

$y=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)+y_1.$

Answer:

The correct answer option is $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To the find of the slope of a line, we need at least two points that are on the line: $(x1,y_1)$ and $(y_1,y_2)$ .

With the help of the coordinates of these two points, we can find the slope of the line by taking the ratio of the difference in values of y by the difference in values of x.

The slope of a line is denoted by $m$ :

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Ex 2.8 3. find the maximum value of y for the curve y=x^5 -3 for -2≤x≤1

harkovskaia [24]

$y=x^5-3\\ y'=5x^4\\\\ 5x^4=0\\ x=0\\ 0\in [-2,1]\\\\ y''=20x^3\\\\
y''(0)=20\cdot0^3=0$

The value of the second derivative for $x=0$ is neither positive nor negative, so you can't tell whether this point is a minimum or a maximum. You need to check the values of the first derivative around the point.
But the value of $5x^4$ is always positive for $x\in\mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\}$ . That means at $x=0$ there's neither minimum nor maximum.
The maximum must be then at either of the endpoints of the interval $[-2,1]$ .
The function $y$ is increasing in its entire domain, so the maximum value is at the right endpoint of the interval.

$y_{max}=y(1)=1^5-3=-2$
