How do you write the point slope form of the equation given (5,-6) and (2,3)?
2 Answers
See the solution process below:
Explanation:
First, determine the slope of the line. The slope can be found by using the formula:
Where
Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:
The point-slope formula states:
Where
Substituting the slope we calculated and the values from the first point in the problem gives:
Solution 1)
We can also substitute the slope we calculated and the values from the second point in the problem giving:
Solution 2)
Explanation:
First, find the slope between the points. You can find slope using:
Plug into the formula:
Now we have the slope. We can now plug into the point-slope form which is:
It doesn't really matter which point we plug in so I'll plug in
