Question

If any would help me on my questions I will give you the medal

Answer 1

what do you got for us?

Answer 2

Write the slope intercept equation for the line containing the given pair of points..(-3,4) and (3,1)....

Answer 3

ok first you need to find the slope of the lines

m = y-y
-----
x-x
then plug the slope and a set of your known point into the point slope formula

y-y=m(x-x)

Answer 4

ok I got tat far but I get confused Like which numbers goes where I get the y and the x mixed up

Answer 5

(x,y)

Answer 6

looks like you end up with a undifined slope so you should get a vertical line

Answer 7

so it wil be 4-1/-3-3
right

Answer 8

yea it's set up but forget what i said about it being undefined

Answer 9

So m=-1/2 now plug that into your point slope formula

Answer 10

ok i see. so it will be 1/2= what now

Answer 11

y-1=-1/2(x-3)

Answer 12

than is that it or is theere more

Answer 13

now change it into
y=mx+b

Answer 14

huh?

Answer 15

y intercept form

Answer 16

So i plug in y=-1/2 x+b

Answer 17

no use this

y-1=-1/2(x-3)

distrubute and change your negitive one over to the other side and then simplify to give you the answer in the y intersept form (y=mx+b)

Answer 18

im confused about y-1=-1/2(x-3). I am not understanding that part and what to did next

Answer 19

it's from the point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

The M value was the slope we figured out earlier they your y1 and x1 value is going to come from one of your known points that we used to help figure out your slope

Answer 20

alright well i'm calling it a night so you end up with

y=-1/2x+5/2

if you are still hung up on this i will try to log on in the morning and answer anything i can good luck

Answer 21

thank for the help i am sorry I am not understanding
