\"slope\"\"

\

Given points are \"\"

\

Next, find the slope.

\

\"\"

\

Substitute 29 for y220 for y1, \"\"12 for x2, and 15 for x1  in slope formula.

\

\"\" \ \

\

\"\"                         (Subtract: \"\")

\

\"\"                              (Subtract: \"\")

\

\"\"                          (Simplify) \ \

\

\"\"                                          (Cancel common terms)\"\"

\

You know the slope and a point on the line, so use point - slope form \"\"

\

with either given point to write an equation of line.

\

Choose \"\"

\

\"\"              (Substitute 20 for y1, 15 for x1 and \"\") \ \

\

\"\"     (Apply distributive property: \"\")

\

\"\"              (Multiply: \"\")

\

\"\"                   (Divide: \"\")\"\"

\

\"\"   (Add 20 to each side)

\

\"\"             (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"                  (Apply additive identity property: \"\")

\

\"\"                                (Add: \"\")\"\"

\

The equation of line is \"\".
