Question

what is the point- slope form of (-2,11) and (6,7)

Answer 1

well you would find the slope of (-2,11) and (6,7) first

Answer 2

i might have it right i got y+4=-1/2(x-8)

Answer 3

thanks

Answer 4

wait no

Answer 5

you plug in (-2,11) or (6,7)

Answer 6

not what you plugged in :/

Answer 7

Slope is:
\[m=\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\]
\[m=\frac{11-7}{-2-6}\]
\[m=\frac{4}{-8}\]
\[m=-0.5\]
So you are right.
Then for point-slope form;
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
Then just plug in a set of points into y1 and x1, ex:
\[y-7=-0.5(x-6)\]

Answer 8

oh i had it backwards

Answer 9

Yeah you can plug either point doesnt' matter

Answer 10

got it
