Question

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

Answer 1

first find slope
\[m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\]
then you point-slope form
\[y-y1 = m(x-x1)\]

Answer 2

Thanks

Answer 3

your welcome
i can check your answer for you too if you want

Answer 4

Sure

Answer 5

i got 7/11 for finding the slope , am I right ?

Answer 6

no you should get 12/6 = 2
remember with any point x is 1st number, y is 2nd number

Answer 7

(3,4) --> x1 = 3, y1 = 4
(-3,-8) --> x2 = -3, y2 =-8

does that help

Answer 8

i have to explain whether or not it matters which point is used in the final answer. Also explain why you chose the point you did ..... i dont get that part

Answer 9

it doesn't matter what point you use

Answer 10

whatever you think looks nicer i guess :)

Answer 11

y - 4 = 2 ( x - 3) ?
