With even just two points, you can find the equation of a line in slope-intercept form.
Slope-intercept form: where
is the slope and
is the y-intercept
<u>1) Solve for the slope (</u><u>)</u>
The equation to solve for the slope is when the two points are
and
. Plug the coordinates of these points into the equation and solve for
.
Then, plug into
.
<u>1) Solve for the y-intercept (</u><u>)</u>
Then, take any of the given points and plug it into along with the slope. Isolate
to get the y-intercept. Then, plug both m and b back into
to get your final equation.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
The answer to your question is the last option
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic equation
2 = - x + x² - 4
Order the equation from the highest power to the lowest power. Do not consider 2 because it is not consider in the options given.
x² - x - 4 = 0
Identify a, b and c
(1) x² -(1) x - 4 = 0
a = 1 b = -1 c = - 6
Substitution
