Concept explainers
To find: The slope of the lineand the coordinates of points using the given equation and points.
Answer to Problem 26PSC
Points are: (6, 12) and (10, 22)
Slope of the line:3
Explanation of Solution
Given information The equation of line:
Passing through points whose x − coordinates are 6 and 10
Formula used
For finding y − coordinates, put the values of x − coordinate in the given line equation and
For finding slope of the line: divide the difference of y − coordinates by difference of x - coordinates
Calculation Put x =6 in the given line equation,
Therefore,
First point: (6, 12)
Put x =10 in the given line equation,
Therefore,
Second point: (10, 22)
Slope of the line
=
