Question

Find the y if the slope is 1/2 in (-1, 1) (5,y)

Answer 1

Don't you want to try this one now? You solve it and so will I and we can see if we agree.

Answer 2

y-1=6 1/2?

Answer 3

Oh wait

Answer 4

\[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{y-1}{5+1}\]

Answer 5

y-3=6

Answer 6

\[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{y-1}{6}\]

Answer 7

*y-1=6

Answer 8

y=4?

Answer 9

Yes. y = 4. Way to go!!!

Answer 10

Isn't learning fun???

Answer 11

Oh very. Sarcasm intended haha

Answer 12

Well, just be thankful that God gave you a good brain so that you can learn. Pity those unfortunate people who can't.

Answer 13

What if in this case, you find x and its -3-7/4-x and the slope is -1?

Answer 14

Yes, praise the Lord. :P

Answer 15

i would cross multiply. I think that might be easiest.

Answer 16

x=6?

Answer 17

\[\frac{-10}{4-x}=\frac{-1}{1}\]

Answer 18

I got -6

Answer 19

I'll try it again

Answer 20

-3-7=-10

Answer 21

And slope is -1 which is -1 over 1 or 1 over -1

Answer 22

When you cross multiply you get -4+x=-10

Answer 23

Okay so the -1 has to multiplied like this?: -1(-4-x)

Answer 24

exactly.

Answer 25

No. it's -1(4-x)

Answer 26

Oops my bad :P

Answer 27

okay I get it
thank you!
