Using Point Slope Formula, write an equation that passes through (-2, 6) and ( 8, 9)

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

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Slope Formula:

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

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

Step 3: Write Function

Plug in variables into general form.

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

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

step-by-step explanation:

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
