Question

Part 1: Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (–1, –4) and (2, 5).

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

Find the slope, then use point slope formula. It won't matter which point you choose

Answer 2

Psssssssssst Follow Hero...

Answer 3

You're annoying -.-

Answer 4

Lol sorry but If you need help you can ask me psssst

Answer 5

What is the point slope formula?

Answer 6

m(y - y_1) = (x - x_1)

Answer 7

\[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 8

That's the slope formula, not the point-slope formula

Answer 9

Right and i got m = 3

Answer 10

So what now?

Answer 11

Follow Hero

Answer 12

3(y - 5) = (x - 2)

Answer 13

There ya go

Answer 14

And that's it?

Answer 15

Nope, you have to simplify it into the form y = mx + b

Answer 16

Yup that's it

Answer 17

I mean a little simplification more

Answer 18

and then you're done

Answer 19

d-_-b

Answer 20

I'm still confused. What's b?

Answer 21

b constant

Answer 22

Simplify it first and isolate y

Answer 23

I'll let you know what b is later

Answer 24

3y - 15 =x +2 ??

Answer 25

Did i do that wrong?

Answer 26

How'd you get +2 ?

Answer 27

My bad. 3y - 15 = x - 2

Answer 28

good, now keep simplifying until you get y by itself

Answer 29

What comes next though? subtract 2?

Answer 30

No.....add 15 to both sides

Answer 31

So.. 3y = x + 13?

Answer 32

Yes, and now divide both sides by 3

Answer 33

y = 3x +13 over 3?

Answer 34

\[y = \frac{x}{3} + \frac{13}{3}\]

Answer 35

Right

Answer 36

You ^^^^^^^^^ have it

Answer 37

Okay so now what?

Answer 38

Lol stop

Answer 39

that's it

Answer 40

b = 13/3

Answer 41

*Dead End*

Answer 42

So then what?

Answer 43

That's it

Answer 44

We're done

Answer 45

Now go celebrate with raw cashews and cinna honey

Answer 46

No what's the final equation though? lmao
