@AriPotta
OpenStudy (aripotta):
first we need to find the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 8-5/6-4
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yes, which simplifies to...?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3/2

OpenStudy (aripotta):
yes. now we can put it into point-slope form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait but all 4 answers are like this look
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yes, we have to put it into point-slope before we can put them into slope-intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

OpenStudy (aripotta):
so what's our point-slope form look like?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
you can use either given point
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m=3/2
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yea, that's the slope, but what does our equation look like
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im confuse about tht already lool

we'll use the first point (4,5) so use that and m=3/2 and put it into point-slope form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m=3/2+4
OpenStudy (aripotta):
no, into point-slope form...you forgot what that was? it's y - y1 = m(x - x1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y-5=m(x-4)
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yes, but we know that m = 3/2

y=3/2x+1
OpenStudy (aripotta):
y = 3/2x - 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why -?
