To find: the slope-intercept form of the equation of line.
Answer to Problem 68E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The line passes through
Calculation:
Put the point coordinate in the slope formula to evaluate m as follows:
Thus the slope value is
Put one of the given points in slope intercept equation and evaluate
So the value of b is
Now substitute the value of m and b in the slope intercept formula to evaluate the equation of line passing through the given points.
Thus the line equation is
