1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.944
Here is the problem: Find the slope and equation of the line through (1, 1) and (4, 10).

2
00:00:06.394 --> 00:00:10.086
Find the slope (rate of change) of the line through two points.

3
00:00:10.886 --> 00:00:12.024
Label the points.

4
00:00:12.474 --> 00:00:14.482
Find the change in y (rise).

5
00:00:14.933 --> 00:00:16.698
Find the change in x (run).

6
00:00:17.148 --> 00:00:18.773
Divide rise by run.

7
00:00:19.573 --> 00:00:22.568
Find the y-intercept using the first point.

8
00:00:23.018 --> 00:00:24.643
Write the equation of the line.

9
00:00:25.443 --> 00:00:31.016
So the answer is m equals 3; y equals 3x minus 2.

10
00:00:31.466 --> 00:00:38.699
The slope is 3: for every 1 unit increase in x, y changes by 3. The line rises from left to right.

11
00:00:39.499 --> 00:00:44.735
Second point: 3 times (4) plus negative 2 equals 10 (expected 10).
