Problema Solution

write an equation of he line that goes through the points (1/2,1/3) and (-5/2,-2/3).

Answer provided by our tutors

the equation of the line trough points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is


y - y1 = m(x - x1)


where the slope m = change y/change in x


in our case we have


m = (1/3-(-2/3))/(1/2 - (-5/2))


m = 1/3


y - 1/2 = (1/3)(x - 1/3)


y = 1/2 + (1/3)x - 1/9


y = (1/3)x + 7/18
