Line Equation from Two Points

Mathematics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]2 years ago
7 0

Hi!

We can use <u>point-slope form </u>to solve this.

y-y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})

y_{1}<em> and </em>x_{1}<em> will be from one of the points.</em>

<u>First, we have to find </u>m<u>, the slope. We can use the slope equation to get this.</u>

\frac{y_{1} -y_{2} }{x_{1} -x_{2} }

<em>Plug in your points:</em>

\frac{4-0}{8-(-8)} =\frac{4-0}{8+8} =\frac{4}{16} =\frac{1}{4}

Your slope is \frac{1}{4}

<u><em>Now plug points and slope into point-slope equation. We will use (8, 4).</em></u>

y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)

Now, if you want to get it into y = mx + b form, you have to solve for y:

y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)

y-4=\frac{1}{4} x-2

y=\frac{1}{4} +2

Your equation is y=\frac{1}{4} +2
