Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through (4, 1) and (5, -1).
Answers

y = -4x + 1

y = -1/2 x + 9

y = 4x + 1

y = -2x + 9

find the slope between the two given points:  $\large m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} $
then put it into point-slope form:  $\large y-y_1=m(x-x_1) $
then solve for y to get slope-intercept form....

try it...
what u got for slope?  m=

anonymous · Answer

I don't know I don't understand math at all.

anonymous · Answer

let's find slope...
subtract the y's of your given point... that's what $\large y_2-y_1 $ means.

anonymous · Answer

would it be y= -2 +9?

anonymous · Answer

is that a guess or did you actually do what i said?

anonymous · Answer

I actually did what you said.
