Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (−6, 4) and (2, 0).

y − 4 = −one half(x + 6)

y − 4 = 2(x + 6)

y + 6 = −one half(x − 4)

y + 6 = 2(x − 4)

@satellite73 Will you help me?

nubeer · Answer

first you have to find the gradient.. do you how to find the gradient when two coordinates are given?

aravindg · Answer

@ahoward79  it seems you are trying to cheat in a test/quiz ?

anonymous · Answer

First Find the Slope

anonymous · Answer

then use Point Slope Form  y-y1 = m (x-x1)

aravindg · Answer

our previous question was exactly similiar ,only difference the points changed

anonymous · Answer

When I tried to find the slope I got -4/8

anonymous · Answer

No actually the last one already had a slope.

aravindg · Answer

did you tell me that our answer was shown wrong or something ?

anonymous · Answer

Ok can someone actually help me?

nubeer · Answer

ok you got -4/8 which is same as -1/2 right?

aravindg · Answer

well @ahoward79  if you are actually here to learn we will be happy to help , but the thing is these questions are very similiar to each other .There is no chance that you get stuck after doing a detailed discussion on a similiar question .

aravindg · Answer

I answered the same type of questions for you more than 4 times..i am still surprised why you having doubts like these

anonymous · Answer

Ok yes @nubeer So what do I do next?

anonymous · Answer

Ok well since you arent helping you can leave my question please, thank you.

aravindg · Answer

TIP: First learn the basic formula of equation of lines thoroughly ,then attempt practise questions,be careful about signs ..thats all what is required!!

aravindg · Answer

it will do a lot more help than you asking desperately here to get the answer

nubeer · Answer

ok as Yahoo mentioned the formula above y-y1=m(x-x1)
now you have m =-1/2 and y1 and x1..
so now just plug the values in formula u will get the answer.

anonymous · Answer

Which values are y1 and x1? -6 and 2?

anonymous · Answer

Nvm I figured it out its A. Thank you soo much! :)

aravindg · Answer

are you ready to learn ? if you promise me that you will study these formulas thoroughly and try your level best before posting them here ..i can help you :)

anonymous · Answer

I dont need anymore help Im ready to take my exam now.

aravindg · Answer

all the best then !

nubeer · Answer

lol best of luck.. and sorry seems to be i am just getting notifications a bit late so missed it..
