First find the slope of the line = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where the 2 points are (x1, y1 and (x2, t2).
Then substitute the values of the slope (m) and one of the points into the point-slope formula
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Its point P because the lines between 1 and 2 are 1/4 2/4 and 3/4 and its looking for 1 1/4 so the correct is the line after number 1 on the x axis and the y axis is 2 which you can see p is located it
Take half of the coefficient of x (which is 2/5) and square it:
[ (1/2)(2/5) ]^2 = (1/5)^2 = 1/25, or 0.04
Thus, to rewrite x^2 + (2/5)x to include a perfect square trinomial,
x^2 + (2/5)x = x^2 + (2/5)x + (1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or
(x+1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or (x + 1/5)^2 - 1/25
