Question:
a) Given the two (2) pairs of points (2, -3) and (4, 5) find the equation of the line y = mx + b
(Hint: First find slope, and then the equation of a line)
b) Given the two pairs of points (2, -3) and (4, 5) find the equation of the line Y = a0 + a1 x that passes through the given points, by solving two different equations simultaneously.
Reasoning:
We know that the equation of the line is given b y Y = a0 + a1 x. Since the point (2, -3) is on the line -3 = a0 + 2 a1 and since the point (4, 5) is on the line 5 = a0 +4 a1
Solve the two equations simultaneously to obtain a and a
- 3 = a0 + 2 a1
5 + a0 + 4a1
c) Compare answer a) and answer b)
