Explanation:
The slope can be computed as
so we get
substituting
we get
Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"standard form"# is.
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(Ax+By=C)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
#"where A is a positive integer and B, C are integers"#
#"to begin obtain the equation in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"#
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"to calculate m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"#
#•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
#"let "(x_1,y_1)=(4,3)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(7,-2)#
#m=(-2-3)/(7-4)=(-5)/3=-5/3#
#y=-5/3x+blarrcolor(blue)"is the partial equation"#
#"to find b substitute either of the 2 given points into the"#
#"partial equation"#
#"using "(4,3)" then"#
#3=-20/3+brArrb=9/3+20/3=29/3#
#y=-5/3x+29/3larrcolor(red)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"multiply all terms by 3"#
#3y=-5x+29#
#"add "5x" to both sides"#
#5x+3y=29larrcolor(red)"in standard form"#
Explanation:
Knowing two points on a line, we can form the equation using the formula,
graph{-(5/3)x + (29/3) [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
