Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 feet after 3 days of rain and 62 feet after 10 days of rain. Given the two points we know: (3, 34) and (10, 62), what would the point-slope equation look like? (1 point)

Yes, I can help you with this question!

To find the point-slope equation, we need to use the formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) is one of the given points and m is the slope.

First, let's calculate the slope (m) using the two points (3, 34) and (10, 62):

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (62 - 34) / (10 - 3)
m = 28 / 7
m = 4

Now, let's use the point-slope formula and one of the given points (3, 34):

y - 34 = 4(x - 3)

This is the point-slope equation.
