Substitute either point into the equation. After watching the videos above we should know that an equation of a line can be in the form of. Well you can view negative x as the same thing as negative one x.
Possible solutions are functions yx drawn as solid curves.
You can think of the first set of coordinates x y -2 4 as representing X 1 and Y 1 and the second set of coordinates 1 2 as representing X 2 and Y 2. Well you can view negative x as the same thing as negative one x. The formula for finding the slope of a line that crosses two points is simply Y 2 - Y 1 X 2 - X 1. Y m x b.
