Question

Part 1: Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (3, 4) and (–3, –8) in point-slope form.

Part 2: Using complete sentences, explain whether or not it matters which point is used in the final answer. Also explain why you chose the point you did.

Answer 1

y=mx+b
m=4-(-8)
------
3-(-3)
m=12/6=2
y=2x+b
4=2(3)+b
4=6+b
-2=b
y=2x-2

Answer 2

part 2. No it doesnt matter which point u use because u would get the same answer for both since they lie on the same line. i choose (3,4) because they were positive numbers
