Problema Solution

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-9,3)(6,4), give the equation of the line.

Answer provided by our tutors

A(-9,3) and B (6,4) are the points and


x1 = -9, y1 = 3


x2 = 6, y2 = 4


the slope m = change in y / change in x


m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)


m = (4 - 3)/(6 - (-9))


m = 1/15


the equation of the line is


y - y1 = m(x - x1)


y - 3 = (1/15)(x - (-9))


y = (1/15)x + (9/15) + 3


y = (1/15)x + 18/3
