Use the point-slope formula to write an equation of the line that passes through 4, 2 and 6,5.Write the answer in slope-intercept form (if possible).

Respuesta :

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

data:

point 01 (4 , 2)

point 02 (6 , 5)

Step 02:

equation of the line:

slope:

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{5-2}{6-4}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Point-slope form of the line

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

[tex]\begin{gathered} (y-2)=\frac{3}{2}(x-4) \\ \\ (y-2)=\frac{3}{2}x\text{ -}\frac{12}{2} \\ \\ y-2=\frac{3}{2}x-6 \\ \\ y=\frac{3}{2}x-6+2 \\ \\ y=\frac{3}{2}x-4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is:

y = 3/2 x - 4
