Write the equation of a line passing through the points (2, -4) and (2, -9). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

1 answer:

8 0

1. find our slope: y2 - y1/ x2- x 1

-9 + 4= -5
2 - 2 = 0

m = 0

2. now we need to use our point-slope form to find our y intercept

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = 0(x - 2)

distribute:
y + 4 = 0x

3. get y by itself

y + 4 - 4 = y
0x - 4 = 0x - 4

4. write in slope-intercept form:

y = 0x - 4
OR
y = -4

Answer:

the linear approximation formula is based on the equation of the tangent line of a function at a fixed point. The linear approximation of a function f(x) at a fixed value x = a is given by L(x) = f(a) + f '(a) (x - a).
