Write a slope intercept equation passing through (2,4) and (5,13).

Question

i have to write a slope intercept equation passing through (2,4) and (5,13).

Answer 1

First, find the slope:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

slope = (13 - 4) / (5 - 2)

slope = (9) / (3)

slope = 3

.

Now do point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 3(x - 2)

y - 4 = 3x - 6

y = 3x - 6 + 4

y = 3x - 2

that's slope intercept form
