Question

Write the equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form, Then graph the equation by using either the slope-intercept equation or by using x- and y-intercepts. The line contains points (5, 6) and (2, 6).

Answer 1

First you need to find the slope

Answer 2

It is, 3 I think....

Answer 3

(6-6)/(2-5)=?

Answer 4

-3

Answer 5

It would be 0.

Answer 6

Well I feel stupid.

Answer 7

It's alright. Now that you have the slope, you can use that plus one of your points to get slope intercept form.

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

The (x1, y1) is one of your points and m is the slope. So plug those in

Answer 8

1-y1=m(1-x1) ?

Answer 9

Noo, m=slope and (x1, y1) is whichever point you wanna use. So well use (5, 6)

y-6=0(x-5)

Answer 10

When you distribute the 0 on the right it all becomes 0, then add the 6 and you get:
y=6

Answer 11

Ahh, okay. I see!

Answer 12

Alright, and there was kinda a shortcut to this one. You see on both the points your y coordinate is 6. Since its a line that means every y coordinate will be 6. So, the equation is y=6

Dunno if that helped or confused you. But im glad you understand the first part

Answer 13

Yeah, I noticed that. This one seemed to be pretty simple actually.
