Week 13- Math 10

This week in math ten we learned about how to use two coordinates and turn them into a slope intercept equation, first you need to know what slope intercept looks like

(rise=y run=x)

\frac{rise}{run}(x-x)=y-y

this will be the example

(6,4), (8,5)

from there you would subtract the x’s with the second x firstĀ  and the y’s in with the second first

so it would look like this

\frac{5-4}{8-6}

from there you would subtract the numbers which leaves you with

\frac{1}{2}

now you have your slope, from here it gets easier

now you would put you slope where the rise over run is and your first set of coordinates into the second x and y

 

\frac{1}{2}(x-5)=y-4

and that would be two sets of coordinates turned into a point slope equation which makes it easier to graph.
