What is the equation of the line passing through the points (Two-fifths, StartFraction 19 Over 20 EndFraction) and (one-third, S
tartFraction 11 Over 12 EndFraction) in slope-intercept form? y = one-half x minus three-fourths y = one-half x + three-fourths y = three-fourths x minus one-half y = three-fourths x + one-half
You have to find the slope first. Which is y1-y1 divided by x1-x2
Then you find the y-intercept which you take the slope for m like for example if you find the slope, 2, then the equation should be y=2x+b. You take the coordinates on the problem and put them on the y or x on the equation. Then when you find the y-intercept you add it to the equation like for the example that I used above, you have to put the y-intercept on b. So if the y-intercept is 5 then the equation would be y=2x+5.
