Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points. (If you have a graphing calculator, you can use the table feature to confirm that the coordinates of both points satisfy your equation.) (3, 18) and (8, 33)
Accepted Solution
A:
Finding such an equation is a fundamental skill in Algebra, and I urge you to become proficient in it.
What I will do is find the slope of this line and then apply it in the point-slope formula for a straight line. 33-18 slope is m = --------- = 15/5 = 3 8-3
Then the eqn of the line is y-18 = 3(x-3).
You could rewrite this equation in other formats if you so wished.
