Question

I NEED HELP.please does anybody know the answer to this? Write an equation of the line, in point-slope form, that passes through the two given points.

points: (–17, 8), (3, —2)

Answer 1

First you're gonna need to find the slope. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

y2-y1/x2-x1 ?

Answer 3

Yep

Answer 4

i get -10/20

Answer 5

Yep, which simplifies to -1/2
now, point slope form looks like this:
y-y1=m(x-x1)

M=slope
(x1, y1)= one of the points you wanna use

Answer 6

so is the answer (y-8)=-1/2 (x+17)

Answer 7

Correct

Answer 8

ahh thank you so much!!

Answer 9

You're welcome
