Question

Solve with this point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1)    (-8,7);(8,15).Can someone Please Show Steps and Instructions and explaining on how to do it Please??

jlastino · Answer

You first get the slope using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
where
x1=-8
x2=8
y1=7
y2=15
This would be the "m" in your equation
Then sub the values into your equation

So First Use The Point Slope Formula. Then??

jlastino · Answer

Get the slope first.
Then use that slope in the point slope formula

What Would the Answer Be??

jlastino · Answer

y=1/2x +11

jlastino · Answer

I mean y= (1/2)x +11

anonymous · Answer

so which formula would i use the one i wrote in the question?

jlastino · Answer

yeah it would result in what i just wrote

anonymous · Answer

oh thanx alot

jlastino · Answer

you can also use the two point formula, |dw:1334292784115:dw|
