Question

Need help for question 8 and 9. I need the equation that’s passes through the points!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 8

Let the equation of a line passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by,

y = mx + b

Here, m = slope and y-intercept = b

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

For two points (1, 4) and (5, 8),

m = $\frac{8-4}{5-1}$

m = 1

Equation will be,

y = (1)x + b

y = x + b

Since, this line passes through (1, 4),

4 = 1 + b

b = 3

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = x + 3

Question 9

Let the equation is y = mx + b

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

For two points (2, 10) and (6, 4)

m = $\frac{10-4}{2-6}$

m = $-\frac{3}{2}$

By substituting the value of 'm' in the equation,

y = $-\frac{3}{2}x+b$

Since, this line passes through (2, 10)

10 = $-\frac{3}{2}(2)+b$

b = 10 + 2

b = 12

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x+12$
