Question

determine the linear equation in slope intercept form m=5 (-1,-5)

Answer 1

i know I use y=Mx+B just not 100% sure where to plug in coordinates

Answer 2

hmm so i see an m in the question, and an m in the equation you just presented :O hmmmmmmmm

Answer 3

maybe there's a connection!! c:

Answer 4

._.

Answer 5

So far I have Y=5x+B

Answer 6

i would use the point-slope form first

Answer 7

then go turn it into slope-intercept

Answer 8

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Answer 9

or actually, you don't have to do that

Answer 10

y+5=5(x+1) is that point slope?

Answer 11

just substitute the x and y into y= 5x + b

Answer 12

then solve for b

Answer 13

and then you'll have your answer

Answer 14

-5 = 5(-1) + b

do you know how to solve for b?

Answer 15

ok then b=0

Answer 16

yep

Answer 17

so y = 5x

Answer 18

do you understand?

Answer 19

what does the B mean?

Answer 20

b is the y-intercept

Answer 21

is that my start point

Answer 22

yea

Answer 23

so you get why it's y = 5x?

Answer 24

yup
