A line goes through the points (8,9) and (-2,4) .
(a) What is the slope of the line? Show your work
(b) Write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Show your work
(c) Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Respuesta :

(a)
9-4/8+2
5/10
1/2
(b)
y-4=1/2(x+2)
(c)
y-4=1/2(x+2)
y-4=1/2x+1
y=1/2x+5

For slope:

You use m = y2 - y1

————-

X2 - X 1

The problem would be

4 - 9 for where the y2 and y1 are and

-2 - 8 for x2 and x1

You would get -5/-10 = -1/2

Hopes this helps
