| Give an equation containing (3,1) & (5,2) in slope intercept form. | First
you must get the slope:
2-1 1 5-3=2=slope |
| Now
plug in the X and Y to get the Y-intercept:
1=3x1/2+__ 3x1/2=1.5 1-1.5=-.5*=y-intercept *you want to change .5 to ½ so that every fraction is in the same form. |
|
| Now
put it all together in slope-intercept form:
Y=1/2X+-1/2 |
