Question

what is the slope intercept of the line passing thourgh(-5,-2) and to the line y=1/2x-2

Answer 1

Slope Intercept formula: y=mx+b

Answer 2

ik that obviously but idk to do with the points and the equation

Answer 3

Well if you obviously knew that then you would of known that the m is 1/2 and the b is -2. Then -5 is x and -2 is why. You have to put them in Slope intercept form.

Answer 4

ok i got 8?

Answer 5

i think your question is missing a word

Answer 6

yea its parrel ot the line

Answer 7

Alright.

you see the slope of y=1/2x-2 is 1/2, right?

Answer 8

wait? how is it 1/2?

Answer 9

Slope intercept form

y=mx+b

m is the slope

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

First use Point-slope form:\[y - y _{1}= m ( x - x _{1})\]
If its parallel, it has the same slope, so m will be 1/2
The points will be (-5,-2), where Y1= -2 and X1= -5
Just plug these in, and isolate the y term on the left side to get slope-intercept form.

Answer 12

o ok lol i did then but then i solved it. i wasn't supposed to solve it?

Answer 13

nevermind did the math wrong

Answer 14

Can you tell me what you get?

Answer 15

i got -2=1/2+-2

Answer 16

1/2x*

Answer 17

You need to keep the x and y in there, and twhen you plug in in, it should look like: \[y + 2 = 1/2 ( x +5)\]

Answer 18

isn't that point slope form?

Answer 19

Yes, but in order to get to slope int form, you need to start here, and then change to slope int form

Answer 20

Can you distribute the right side out?

Answer 21

yes 1/2x+2.5

Answer 22

Ok so now you have y + 2 = 1/2 x + 2.5
Now carry over the 2 to the right side

Answer 23

y=1/2x+1/2

Answer 24

Thats the equation in slope int form

Answer 25

o ok thank you that really helped for my geom. final

Answer 26

No problem
