Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through (4,-1) and (-2,3)

Answer 1

Answer: y-6 = 0.5 (x-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y − y1 = m(x − x1)

The equation is useful when we know:

one point on the line: (x1,y1)

and the slope of the line: m,

and want to find other points on the line.

Have a play with it first (move the point, try different slopes):
