Question

Explain in your own words how to do the following: "Write an equation in point-slope form of the like through the given points. (1, 4) and (2, 7)"

Answer 1

Answer:

y-4=3(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y-4 = 3(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you will need to find the slope of the two points.

You can do this by using the slope formula:

$m=(y_{2}-y_{1} ) /(x_{2}-x_{1})$

Which would equal :

$\frac{7-4}{2-1} =\frac{3}{1} =3$

You would also have to know what point-slope form is:

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Now insert your points, and the slope.

y-4 = 3(x-1)
