Question

if (3,1) and (-3,5) are my points how do i convert them into a standard form equasion?

Answer 1

for this problem yo would have to find the slope of this line. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

yes
the slope is -4/3

Answer 3

Nah, it's -4/6

Answer 4

im sorry -2/3
i dont know what i was thinking

Answer 5

it happens :)

Answer 6

i simplified

Answer 7

now what

Answer 8

now can you, using the slope you have, write in point slope form?

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

y=mx+b
y=-2/3 x+b

Answer 11

do you know y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 12

choose one of the points, plug in y and x accordingly, and solve for b

Answer 13

ah then i put the (3,1) or (-3,5) in for x and y then i have my y intercept then im dont. ok thankyou i get it now

Answer 14

ur welcome! good job!

Answer 15

no you are not done, you wanted standard form not point slope form

Answer 16

do you know how to change from point slope form to standard form

Answer 17

I thought y=mx+b was standard form ;(

Answer 18

thats what im thinking

Answer 19

no, standard form is AX+BY=C

Answer 20

wo

Answer 21

Yeah, not everything in math is cut and dry

Answer 22

are you sure

Answer 23

what are the a,b,and c?

Answer 24

yea i am sure, you said you wanted standard form right?

Answer 25

yes
i know how to swich them i just thought they were each other

Answer 26

okay then
