Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the pair of points. Write your answer in slope-intercept form.

(2,4),(4,3)

Answer 1

(2,4) and (4,3) have a line through them with the equation

(3-4)/(4-2) = -1/2 = (y-4)/(x-2), slope = the difference in y coordinates divided by difference in x coordinatres

y-4 = (-1/2)x + 1

y = (-1/2)x + 5 in slope intercept form, slope = -1/2, intercept = 5
