Question

write an equation in point-slope form for the line that contains the given points: (1,-6) and (2.-4) write an equation in point-slope form for the line that contains the given points: (1,-6) and (2.-4) @Mathematics

Answer 1

I might not answer, but please show others what oyu have done so far.

Answer 2

i don't know how to do this, sorry

Answer 3

find the slope first \[m=(y _{1}-y _{2})/(x _{1}-x _{2})\]
you will get (-6-(-4))/(1-2)
which turns out to be -2/-1 or just simply 2
use the point slope formula to get the equation.
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
you will get y+6=2(x-1)

Answer 4

put it in y=mx+b and you will have your answer!

Answer 5

is it -6?

Answer 6

they are just asking you for the equation. not an answer.
the equation is y=2x-8

Answer 7

ohhhh ic

Answer 8

can i ask you another question, familiar to the one i just asked?

Answer 9

yes
what is it?

Answer 10

gimme a medal

Answer 11

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that has the given slope and contains the given point: m= 2/3 (9,5)

Answer 12

well do you know how to use the point slope formula?
I posted it above,
\[(y-y _{1})=m(x-x _{1})\]
m=slope
\[y _{1}\]\[= y coordinate\]
\[x _{1}= x coordinate.\]
if you plug in the correct values and do a little algebra you will get the equation of the line.
let me know what you get.

Answer 13

yes its y=mx+b

Answer 14

5=2/3(9)+b is that correct so far?

Answer 15

no. you have to put it into the formula that i posted above. NOT y=mx+b

Answer 16

well now that i think of it you could do it that way. and solve for b but i havent done that in years.. and it seems like it is more complicated

Answer 17

what did you get for an answer? i'll see if i can get the same answer using y=mx+b

Answer 18

y=(2/3)x-1

Answer 19

yea i can get the same thing using my formula
