Question

Lindsay used two points, (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), to find the equation of the line, y = mx + b, that passes through the points. First, she used the definition of slope and determined that the value of m is StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction. Given this information, which expression must represent the value of b?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of a given line in x,y axis is always dx/dy

Answer 2

Answer:

y 1 minus (StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction) (x 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test, good luck :)
