Cool Down

With a partner, use what you have learned to write an equation in each form from two points.

1.

Find the slope of the line that goes through (2,3)(2,3) and (6,4)(6,4).

2.

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that goes through (2,3)(2,3)and (6,4)(6,4).

3.

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that goes through (2,3)(2,3) and (6,4)(6,4). (Hint: use the equation from number 2)

4.

Write the equation of the line in standard form that goes through (2,3)(2,3) and (6,4)(6,4).

(Hint: use the equation from number 3.)
