Question

Hi! I have a problem that I am having trouble with.

It says to find a equation of the line containing the given pair of points. (-3,0) (0,4)

Answer 1

Do you know how to find slope?

Answer 2

\[\frac {y_2 - y_1} {x_2 - x_1}\]

Answer 3

Yes I know how to find the slope

Answer 4

What did you get for slope?

Answer 5

3/4

Answer 6

Hmmm, I got 4/3

Answer 7

y- y1=m(x- x1)

Of the two points that you have (-3,0), (0,4) choose one:
then plug in y value of that point into y1
plug in x value of into x1
plug in slope into m

Answer 8

I do not get it

Answer 9

\[y - 0 = \frac {4} { 3}(x -(-3))\]\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

Answer 10

is y the slope or what?

Answer 11

\[y = \frac {4}{3}x+\frac {13}{3} \]

Answer 12

m = slope

Answer 13

then how do I figure out the value of y?

Answer 14

You don't.....you only enter the points for \[x_1, y_1\] and m and then simplify from there.

Answer 15

y=mx+b?

Answer 16

the answer is above me, isnt it?

Answer 17

hero already answered

Answer 18

Yes

Answer 19

y=4/3x+13/3

Answer 20

is that it hero?

Answer 21

Yes
