How do you write the equation in point slope form given (2, 5) (3,10)?
2 Answers
Explanation:
In general, given two points
the slope can be calculated as
and the equation of the line through these points using the point slope form is
Given
and the slope point form of the equation is
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "slope-point form" may also appear in the form:
or
or
All these forms are equivalent.
graph{y=5x-5 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
Explanation:
The point gradient/slope form is
Were
Next, we need the gradient which is
Now with these values, we substitute it into the equation to get an answer in point gradient/slope from.
