Finding The Equation Of A Line From 2 Coordinates

This lesson covers:

  1. How to find the equation of a line using the coordinates of two points

Find the equation of the straight line that pass through the points (4, 9) and (1, 3).

Give your answer in the form of ‘𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐’.

𝑦 = 3𝑥 + 1

𝑦 = 0.5𝑥 + 3

𝑦 = -𝑥 + 4

𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 1

Find the equation of the straight line that pass through the points (-12, -3) and (4, -7).

Give your answer in the form of ‘𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑐’.

𝑦 = -0.25𝑥 - 6

𝑦 = -4𝑥 - 6

𝑦 = 4𝑥 + 6

𝑦 = 2x - 6
