Question

Find the Slope intercept form. (3,-6) and (1,5)

Answer 1

First find the slope of those two points

Answer 2

yes, find the slope using the slope formula, them plug it into slope intercept form: y=mx+b ~~>M being the slope

Answer 3

Is it -11/2

Answer 4

Yep. now do point slope form:
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 5

(x1, y1) is either one of the points you choose and m is slope

Answer 6

can you do that for me I dont understand

Answer 7

Lets use the point (1, 5) where 1 is x1 and 5 is y1 and plug it into the formula:

y-5=-11/2(x-1)

Answer 8

But the slope is just -11/2

Answer 9

Yes i plugged that in for m. were trying to get slope intercept form

Answer 10

Now distribute the -11/2 into the parentheses

Answer 11

which will give you:
y-5=-11/2x+11/2
then add the 5 to both sides and you get:
y=-11/2x+21/2
