Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:
y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points
On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept
In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.
The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation and Helena claims that point-slope form will find the equation. Who is correct? Explain your reason by describing both forms.

Answer:
The equation that Deon can use to find the time 't' it takes for his ride is t=distance/rate or t=15/20 or 0.75 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between distance, rate and time is a common formula represented by d=rt where 'd'=distance, 'r'=rate and 't'=time. Distance is typically calculated in miles, where rate is given in miles/hour and time is the hours. In this case, because we are looking for 't', we would simply plug in the values of distance and rate to get 20=15t. In order to solve for 't', we need to use inverse (opposite) operations, dividing both sides by 15 and getting 0.75 hours for 't'.
