ok so this is the problem (-4,-19) and (-15,-20) which come to y=1/11 +76/11 so tell me how i begin to graph it in the first place please
what was wrong with the other posting?
i didnt see the other posting
do you want to graph this according to the equation given or the points given?
so can you help me again
i can try :)
well it says
to find the slope and graph it
so the slope would be 77\11 correct?
let me chk your slop then (-4,-19) -(-15,-20) ----------- 11 , 1 ; slope = y/x = 1/11, that parts good the equation will be, in slope intercept form: y = (1/11)x --4/11 -19(11)/11 = (1/11)x + (4-209)/11 = (1/11)x - 205/11 as i see it
these are some rather difficult numbers to play with; so we can use one of the points given and step it thru with the slope
id start at: (-4,-19) and move, according to the slope, up 1 and right 11 to get to; (-4, -19) +1, +11 --------- (-3, -8)
i got me x and y backwards .... it should be (-4, -19) +11, +1 --------- ( 7, -18) as a new point
something akin to this picture ...
so y do we add the second set of numbers to the first answer?
the second set of numbers is how the slope directs us to move from one point to another in order to find another point on a slope of 1/11 we have to move up 1 and right 11
it is simply following the directions given by the slope: 1 movement along the y -- = -------------------- 11 movement along the x
