How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

How can you determine if a table of values represents a linear relationship?

Back

If the differences between the y-values divided by the differences between the x-values are constant, it represents a linear relationship.

Front

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

Back

First, find the slope: m = (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 2. Then use point-slope form to find the equation: y - 2 = 2(x - 1) or y = 2x.
