Question

Find the point-slope equation for the line
that passes through the points (15, 10)
and (16, 15). Use the first point in your
equation.
y - 10 = [?](x -?)

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 10 = 5(x - 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

(Y-Coordinate 2) - (Y-Coordinate 1)

divided by

(X-Coordinate 2) - (X-Coordinate 1)

So:

15-10/16-15

=5/1

m=5

Plugging in the x and y values of the first point to the point-slope equation

Y-Y1 = m(X-X1)

we get the answer of

Y-10=5(x-15)
