Point slope form of a line that passes through (8,12) and (2,7).
First, find the slope using the slope formula.
m = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 = 7 - 12 2 - 8 - - 5 - 6 = 5 6
Next, use the point-slope formula. You may choose either point as ( x 1 , y 1 ) . I will choose the first point.
y - y 1 = m ( x - x 1 )
y - 12 = 5 6 ( x - 8 )
