Question

find the slope intercept form for the line satisfying the following conditions
passing thru (7,-6)(6,-5)
the slope intercept form for the line is

Answer 1

Step 1. Find the slope between these two points.

Answer 2

*Hint: the slope is -1

Answer 3

Now get one of the points (7,-6) or (6,-5). and plug it into the point slope formula. the point slope formula is y – y1 = m(x – x1). Replace the x1 and y1 with any coordinate point.

Answer 4

ok i see you subtracted both sets of cords to come up with -1 right

Answer 5

yes. (y2-1)/(x2-x1)= slope.

Answer 6

and replace the m with -1

Answer 7

so i come up with (y-y1)2x right

Answer 8

Solve for y. Which point did you use? (7,-6) or (6,-5)?

Answer 9

ok im confused

Answer 10

I'll use the point (7,-6)
(y-(-6))=-1(x-7)
Now solve for y
(y+6)=-x+7
y+6=-x+7
y=-x+1

Answer 11

ok i get that so now what

Answer 12

y=-x+1 is your answer.

Answer 13

ok and i see how you got to that so thanks

Answer 14

acording to the site it is wrong

Answer 15

they want you to write an equation

Answer 16

There must be a mistake on your side. You can check by plugging any of the points into the equation.
