Complete the point-slope equation of the line through ( − 5 , 4 ) (−5,4)left parenthesis, minus, 5, comma, 4, right parenthesis and ( 1 , 6 ) (1,6)left parenthesis, 1, comma, 6, right parenthesis

Respuesta :

The point slope form of equation through given points is:

[tex]y-6=\frac{1}{3}(x-1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(x1,y1) = (-5,4)

(x2,y2) = ((1,6)

First of all we have to find the slope of line

So,

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\=\frac{6-4}{1+5}\\=\frac{2}{6}\\=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Point-slope form is given by:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Putting m=1/3

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{1}{3}(x-x_1)[/tex]

Putting (1,6) in the equation

[tex]y-6=\frac{1}{3}(x-1)[/tex]

The point slope form of equation through given points is:

[tex]y-6=\frac{1}{3}(x-1)[/tex]

Hint #22 / 3

Let's find the slope between (\blueD{-5},\blueD{4})(−5,4)left parenthesis, start color #11accd, minus, 5, end color #11accd, comma, start color #11accd, 4, end color #11accd, right parenthesis and (\maroonD{1},\maroonD{6})(1,6)left parenthesis, start color #ca337c, 1, end color #ca337c, comma, start color #ca337c, 6, end color #ca337c, right parenthesis:

\begin{aligned} \text{Slope}&=\dfrac{\maroonD{6}-\blueD{4}}{\maroonD{1}-\blueD{(-5)}} \\\\ &=\dfrac{2}{6} \\\\ &=\dfrac{1}{3} \end{aligned}

Hint #33 / 3

The incomplete equation starts with y-\maroonD{6}y−6y, minus, start color #ca337c, 6, end color #ca337c, so we need to use the point (\maroonD{1},\maroonD{6})(1,6)left parenthesis, start color #ca337c, 1, end color #ca337c, comma, start color #ca337c, 6, end color #ca337c, right parenthesis:

y-\maroonD{6}=\dfrac{1}{3}(x-\maroonD{1})y−6=
