How do you put two points into point slope formula... y - y1 = m(x - x1)...
The points are, (5.3,5.2) and (5.2,5.0) Medals! :)

Question

anonymous · Answer

Just plug in the x value of your point for x1 and the y value for y1.

anonymous · Answer

You need to use two points to solve for m. You only need one point for x1,y1

anonymous · Answer

do i do the two points separately?

anonymous · Answer

No, you need to use both points together in the slope formula.

anonymous · Answer

where is the x2 and y2? do i need to add them to the formula?

anonymous · Answer

Oh wait.....sorry, you only need one of those points

anonymous · Answer

$$m = Slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

anonymous · Answer

Hmmm

anonymous · Answer

You need both points to find your slope, then you just pick any one of the two points for your x1,y1 values.

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, what polpak said

okay, i get it now... Thanks peeps!
