Question

I don't know how to get the answer? Let alone do it:(

Containing E(4, 3) and F(6, 1)

Answer 1

find linear equation?

Answer 2

Enter the equation of the line meeting the given conditions. Please put the equation in standard form.

Answer 3

Do you know Point slope form?

Answer 4

Yes, but I don't fully understand how to get the answer

Answer 5

Show me the formula, pls!

Answer 6

for point slope?

Answer 7

Yes, that's the most essential form for linear equation!

Answer 8

if I understand correctly it is y=1/2 * x/2 + something?

Answer 9

the formula, with slope m!

Answer 10

oh... um I don't know that one.

Answer 11

Would you look it up for the formula ( without the number)

Answer 12

look what up?

Answer 13

Point slope form for linear from where assign your homework?

Answer 14

I go to school online, and nothing was given about that. Just this equation as if they thought every student knew how to do it.

Answer 15

Yes, everybody are supposed to memorize it!
y2 - y1 = m ( x2 - x1 )

Answer 16

So I would put the numbers in as the letters, and than get the answer that way?

Answer 17

First you find slope m = ....
Plug the coordinate in:

Answer 18

how do I know which ones to use to find the slope?

Answer 19

Slope m = ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1)
You need TWO POINTS to make a line

Answer 20

So y2 would be 4 and y1 would be 6? and x2 would be 3 and x1 would be 1? or switch it around?

Answer 21

E(4, 3) and F(6, 1)
x1 = 4, y1 = 3, x2 = 6, y2 = 1

Answer 22

x=2 / y=-2 ?

Answer 23

is that the answer? or do I divide 2 and -2?

Answer 24

I have 5spaces in the answer box...and I think I did something wrong

Answer 25

Oh...so it would be y=-2 as the answer?

Answer 26

x2-x1= 6-4=2

Answer 27

m=-1?

Answer 28

Yes, now plug into the linear equation
y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

Answer 29

ok I think IM over thinking this....what would I plug in? would it be -2=m2? but I can only Y & X in the answer?

Answer 30

You plug in ( 6,1) and m = -1

Answer 31

im lost? im sorry...I hope im not aggravating you

Answer 32

You really don't know point coordinate, don't you!
x1 = 6, y1 = 1, m = -1
Now plug these into the formula:
y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

Answer 33

I know the coordinates to the point of finding where the points go on the graph, but I never was showed how to find them.

Answer 34

So. pls follow my instruction Point coordinate is

x1 = 6, y1 = 1, m = -1
Now plug these into the formula:
y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

Answer 35

x=4, y=3= 1, m=1?

Answer 36

2=m-1

Answer 37

Either point, it works, m -1

Answer 38

y - y1 = y - 3
Can you do similarly with x

Answer 39

I don't know how to do that.

Answer 40

x - x1 = ...

Answer 41

3-1=2

Answer 42

x - 4

Answer 43

subtract 3 from 4?? =-1

Answer 44

y - 3 = - ( x - 4 )

Answer 45

y -3 = -x + 4
->x = -x + 4 + 3
x = -x + 7
