Question

A line passes through the points (4, 6) and (8, 7). What is its equation in point-slope form?​

Answer 1

Hello there! :)

First, let’s find the slope.

We can find it using this formula:

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

m=7-6/8-4

m=1/4

So the slope is 1/4.

Now, we can use the point-slope formula:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=1/4(x-1/4)

Hope it helps. :)
