Draw the Line

Draw The Line

Lesson 1

Problem: A line passes through the point (4, 2). The line has a slope of 1. Draw the line.

Step 1: First form equation: slope of line = y – y₁/x – x₁

Solution As value of x₂ and y₂ are given: 1 = y – 2/x – 4

Step 2: x – 4 = y – 2;

x – y = 2

Solution Find the value of x and y to draw the graph and draw the line on the graph

Step 3:

Solution The answer is:

Step 4:

A.	A line that passes through the point (2, 3). Slope = 3
B.	A line that passes through the point (3, 5). Slope = 1
