Question

Line s passes through the points (2, 7) and (6, 1). Line t passes through the point (5, 2) and is perpendicular to line s. What is the equation for line t?

Answer 1

What is the equation for the slope of a line if you have 2 points on the line?

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

are you asking from my question

Answer 4

y2-y1over x2-x1

Answer 5

\[Slope = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

Right.

Answer 6

i think im not sure

Answer 7

So use the two points on the line s to find the slope of s.

Answer 8

can you do it for me please im not fealling good i cant think right

Answer 9

If you are not feeling well, you should be resting, not doing math.

Answer 10

well i have to do this or i will get a 0 in my class

Answer 16

wait how do you do it when you use the equation?

Answer 17

which points do u use in the equation?

Answer 18

You pick two points that are on the line you are solving the slope for.

Those points are \((x_1,y_1)\text{ and } (x_2,y_2)\)

Answer 19

so (2,7) and (6,1) ?

Answer 20

Yep

Answer 21

oh ok thx so much

Answer 22

i got -6/4

Answer 23

is that right?

Answer 24

Yep. That is the slope of the line s.

Answer 25

i need to know an equation

Answer 26

how do i use a slope for the equation?

Answer 27

how do i use slope to find the equation?

Answer 28

hello?

Answer 29

you suck
