Question

Someone please help me out!! I need to figure this out as soon as possible! I don't get geometry! :( please? What is the slope-intercept form of the equation y-7= -5/2(x+4)?

Answer 1

im good at geometry

Answer 2

I'm glad. Please help me out????

Answer 3

haha okay whats the answer they give u

Answer 4

There are four of them and in this one, my teacher circled the answer but i have to explain to him how to get to the answer and that's why i need to show work. I didn't get it right the first time.
1.) y-2=-5/2(x+2)
2.) y+7=-x+5/2
3.) y=-4/7+2
4.) y=-5/2x-3
my teacher says that the 4th one is correct, but how to i get the answer????? that's the confusing part.

Answer 5

okay wait i need to see something real quick

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

i working it out on a paper so it might be a while sorry
and what is the slop intercept form

Answer 8

slope intercept form is y=mx+b.

Answer 9

okay first you need to write this in slope intercept for y-7=-5/2 (x+4)

Answer 10

okay. got that. is this is answer? I'm just really desperate. Today is teh last day before the semester ends so i wanna redo this test to get my grade up.

Answer 11

this is not answer im working on it

Answer 12

okay. sorry

Answer 13

then what you would do next is use the distributive property

Answer 14

which mean u multiply everything in the parenthesis by -5/2

Answer 15

you would get 5/2x and then -5/2 times 4 is 20/2

Answer 16

then you take the 20/2 and divide it and you get 10

Answer 17

okay. got that so far.

Answer 18

right now ur equation should look like y-7=-5/2x-10

Answer 19

after tht u would subtract 7 from each side so ur answer would be y=-5/2x-3

Answer 20

omg! you're a mircale worker! Thanks so much!!! :) I'm starting to get it now!! God bless you 1000 times!

Answer 21

haha ur welcome
