Question

Which is an equation of the line passing through points at (1, 6) and (-2, 1)?

Answer 1

depends on what form they are presenting you with

Answer 2

at any rate; subtract one point from the other and stack y/x to get the slope

Answer 3

what would

(1, 6)
-(-2, 1)
-------
equals?

Answer 4

Slope-int form.

Answer 5

(-1, 5)?

Answer 6

close :) i get 3,5 which stack to 5/3 for a slope

Answer 7

how many options do you have as :

y = 5/3 x + b ?

Answer 8

y = mx + n is the slope intercept form
m is the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
x1=1, y1=6
x2=-2,y2=1
m = (1-6)/(-2-1)
m=-5/-3
m=-5/3

Answer 9

One option[: Thankyou, haha.

Answer 10

slope formula
\[m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\]

Answer 11

then that narrows it down :)

Answer 12

to continue for a dbl chk tho:

y = mx -mPx + Py ; where P(x,y) is either point given; ill go with (1, 6)

y = (5/3)x -5(1)/3 + 6(3)/3

y = (5/3)x -5/3 + 18/3

y = (5/3)x + 13/3 as long as I did the math right

Answer 13

You're right![:

Answer 14

giorgia did fine; but mighta typoed the slope at the end ;)
