gradient = (-2-5) / (2-1) = -7 hence y = -7x + C Since a point on the line is (1,5) 5 = -7 + C from which we have C = 12 The equation is y = 12 - 7x

In order to find the equation of a tangent line you must take the derivative of the original equation and then find the points that it passes through.

Which function passes through the points (2 15) and (3 26)?

Well, honey, if you're looking for a function that passes through the points (2, 15) and (3, 26), you're talking about a linear function. The slope of this function would be 11 (rise of 11 over run of 1), so the equation would be y = 11x + b. To find the y-intercept, plug in one of the points, let's say (2, 15), and solve for b. So, the function that passes through those points is y = 11x + 4.

To find the equation of a line you must know at least one point through which the line passes and the slope of the line?

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What are equation of lines?

y = mx + cWhere m is the gradient of the line and c is a constant (the intercept of the line).The equation of a line is typically written asy=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.If you know two points that a line passes through, this page will show you how to find the equation of the line.
