Question

Given the points (2, 3) and (6, 8), write the point-slope form of the equation.
y - 3 = x - 2
y - 3 = 5/4 (x - 2)
y - 8 = 4/5 (x - 6)

Answer 1

i think its the second on ebut am not sure

Answer 2

First, find the slope.

Answer 3

y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 4

Can you substitute in the values?

Answer 5

5/4

Answer 6

Good

Answer 7

Now use the point slope form formula.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 8

whats the next step?

Answer 9

Plug in those values

Answer 10

um y=mx+b so y=5/4x+b

Answer 11

No.... just plug those values into the point slope form and what did you get?

Answer 12

point slope form?

Answer 13

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 14

m=y-y1/x=x1?

Answer 15

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-3=5/4(x-2)

All I did was substitute in things. Do you understand @EmmaH

Answer 16

you only used the first pair? o

Answer 17

Yes, because it is...

y-Y1=M(x-X1)

Answer 18

It does not ask for x2 and y2

Answer 19

oh ok so y-3=5/4(x-2)
is the answer?

Answer 20

Yes, that is the point slope form.

Answer 21

ok thanks!=D
