Answer 1

Please help me!

Answer 2

Hi

Answer 3

Hi!

Answer 4

Please help me!

Answer 5

Okay, just making sure someone is really there.

Answer 6

honestly this is pretty simple

Answer 7

ok phew! I was worried I would never get help! So how do I start?

Answer 8

do you know the point slope formula?

Answer 9

I think so

Answer 10

Do you mind writing it down/ posting it?

Answer 11

Ok:

(y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

Answer 12

um not really, thats the formula to find a slope

Answer 13

oh, what's the actual formula then?

Answer 14

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 15

Does that look familiar?

Answer 16

nevermind that doesn't matter

Answer 17

It does like familiar though.

Answer 18

so is there only one coordinate?

Answer 19

I think so, this is all that I have to work with.

Answer 20

(y-y1)=-3/2(x-6)

Answer 21

Ok, what next?

Answer 22

one sec, let me rearrange it.

Answer 23

Sorry for making it more complicated than it should be. I just noticed that the first equation really is y=-3/2x+6

Answer 24

OK

Answer 25

So now, I need to move the -3/2x over to the left.

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

It would be (3/2)x+y=6

Answer 28

k, next problem?

Answer 29

oh wait, I can't use fractions :(

Answer 30

y=x-3 would be the equation

Answer 31

ok

Answer 32

If you can't use fractions, then just write 1.5x+y=6

Answer 33

oh

Answer 34

what about on the second problem?

Answer 35

1: 1.5x+y=6
2: y=x-3 ------> convert this into standard form

Answer 36

ok so -x + y = 3?

Answer 37

the second equation can be written as -x+y=-3 or x-y=3

Answer 38

Okay, well, thanks :)

Answer 39

Sure

Answer 40

Do I get a medal?

Answer 41

Oops sorry, I always give medals! :D
