Answer 1

LOL!

Answer 2

I'm trying to help.

Answer 3

Well i'm stupid and dont get it so no worth trying

Answer 4

Let's take it one step at a time. First, re-write that equation with '6' instead of 'm'. What do you get?

Answer 5

I don't think you're stupid, you just are having a hard time with math.

Answer 6

The general form, remember, is: y-y0 = m(x-x0). Change 'm' to '6', what do you get?

Answer 7

i have no idea

Answer 8

do you see the place in that equation where there is an 'm'?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

So change it to a 6. Now what does that equation look like?

Answer 12

honestly.. i dont know any of it. im failing algerbra.

Answer 13

Erika just re-type the equation, but with '6' instead of 'm'. That's all I'm asking you to do.

Answer 14

Are you there?

Answer 15

yes..

Answer 16

Answer 17

what did you get?

Answer 18

Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 6. where do i put the m

Answer 19

y-y0 = m(x-x0). Just change 'm' to '6', what do you get?

Answer 20

'm' is what stands for 'slope'. That's why when they tell you the slope is 6 you know that's what you put for 'm'.

Answer 21

okay so the 6 goes where the m is?

Answer 22

right. what do you get?
