Question

Find the equation of the line with the given equation" SLOPE -3, through (-2,7)

Answer 1

u have any idea, how to solve this problem?

Answer 2

not yet. i'm breaking it down from the book right now.

Answer 3

okay...u dont know to write a equation of straight line in any form?

Answer 4

like...y= mx+c

Answer 5

this is called slope-intercept form.

Answer 6

u r familiar with this?

Answer 7

I was just working on that concept (all within the last hour or so) and it is slowly sinking in. But, no, it i snot something I am completely familiar with.. yet... give me a little time with it and I am confident I will conquer it.

Answer 8

okay...as u have mentioned a word 'slope' in ur question? what does it represent?

Answer 9

Would it look something like this: -2 = -3x + 7

Answer 10

The slope is the rise and run

Answer 11

what does in mathematically represent?

Answer 12

does it make sense?

Answer 13

Woe... I have never heard of those words. Theta? I don't see that in the book anywhere. I'm working out of the Math94 4th addition book. Chapter 3

Answer 14

u have heard trigonometrical ratios....sin, cos, tan?

Answer 15

or if u want answer only.
then suppose u have been given slope of the line is 'm' and one point on that line is(x1,y1) then equation of line is:
y- y1= m(x-x1)

Answer 16

No. It has been more then 20 years since I was in a math class. I am in the per-algebra class at the college

Answer 17

wow...:)

Answer 18

Would it look something like this: -2 = -3x + 7
I don't want answers only, I want to understand... but I need everything broken down to elementary level because my brain has not ben in 'math mode' in more then 2 decades.

Answer 19

suppose u have been given slope of the line is 'm' and one point on that line is(x1,y1) then equation of line is: y- y1= m(x-x1)
using this u can find the answer of your question.

Answer 20

any purpose behind enrolling for maths at college?

Answer 21

after two decades*

Answer 22

I have a Religious Studies and Theology degree, but I can't do to much with that degree, so i decided to go back to school and pursue a career in education (where I can teach to the degree I already have) but my math is 'out-dated'... so here I am... updating.. lol... and hopefully, in a year, I will be teaching at the high-school. What about you? How did you get involved in deep thinking math?

OK, so lets start this over... cause I am lost... the information given is: Slope -3, through (-2,7).

Answer 23

but u shud understand the meaning of slope..I mean u shud 1st understand d question completely.

Answer 24

what is slope?

Answer 25

for now, we forget sin, cos tan..

Answer 26

Slope is a ratio that compares the vertical change with the horizontal change. (the incline or decline)
