Question

find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points
(-7,-9) and (-1,-8)

Answer 1

first find the slope, then use the point slope formula

Answer 2

do you know what the slope is?

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

find the slope:

(y(1) - y(2))/(x(1) - x(2))

Answer 5

oops, wrong, switch the 2's and 1's

Answer 6

you have asked 100 of question like this, and people have given you the slope formula over a 100 times.

Answer 7

do you understand what x(1) and x(2) are?

Answer 8

you should be teaching us how to do these kinds of problems

Answer 9

then do not help me, that simple..no need to be rude

Answer 10

not rude, realistic

Answer 11

ok, well i'm not going to help you either if you aren't going to try. we are really just trying to help you

Answer 12

whatever then, dont

Answer 13

guy, just try plugging your information into the formula! we want you to succeed!! that's what we're here for!

Answer 14

ok, look, your points that you have written up there are in this form:

(x,y)

since there are two of them, we refer to one as point (1) and the other as point (2). so use the y value from one point, then the y value for the second point. do the same thing with the x-values
