Not always. For example, try to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 4) and (2, 3).
yes because you will need the slope and y-intercept to find the equation of a line and the point through which the line passes is the y-intercept so it is yes!!!!!!! Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(0,5).
slope = change_in_y/change_in_x = (-1 - 2)/(8 - 5) = -3/3 = -1
Slope, m, equals (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Slope is (8-2)/(8-2) or 1.
It is a straight line with no slope with a 'y' intercept of 2
Slope, m, equals (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Slope is (0-(-1))/(0-(-1)) or 1/1 or 1.
If you know that the line passes through the point (0,0) and has a slope of 0.6, then you can use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line. y - y1 = m(x - x1) becomes y - 0 = 0.6(x - 0) becomes y = 0.6x
