Slope Formula: [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  

  • x₁ - x coordinate
  • y₁ - y coordinate
  • m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-2, 6)

Point (8, 9)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

  1. Substitute [SF]:                    [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{9-6}{8+2}[/tex]
  2. Subtract/Add:                      [tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{3}{10}[/tex]

Step 3: Write Function

Plug in variables into general form.

y - 9 = 3/10(x - 8)

y - 6 = 3/10(x + 2)
