Question

A line goes through the points (8,9) and (2,4).

What is the slope of the line?

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form?

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

9-4/8-2
5/6
The slope is 5/6
y-4=5/6(x-2)
y-4=5/6x-5/3
y=5/6x+7/3
The equation of line in point-slope is y - 4 = 5/6(x - 2)
The equation of the line in slope-intercept is y = 5/6x + 7/3
