Question

Write an equation for the line that passes through the coordinates (2,0 ) and (0,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

y-0=3/-2(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) When it asks for an equation for a line passing through two coordinates it's referring to point-slope form. Point-slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

2) In order to put in in point-slope form you must first get the slope(m), the y1 and x1 values (which the x and y value are always given).

3) Use the slope equation (y2-y1/x2-x1) plugging in your x and y coordinates to find the slope. So in this case 3-0/0-2, so slope equals 3/-2.

4) Plug your slope into m, y1 (in this case 0), and x1 (in this case 2) values into the equation formula.

5) Your finished and left with your answer! Congrats...
