Question

slope intercept form the equation of the line passing through the points (2.3) (-4.5)

Answer 1

can you find the slope of the line..?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

ok... so what did you get for the slope...?

Answer 4

ok... so the slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx + b m is the slope and b is the y- intercept

simplifying the slope it becomes - 1/3

so you have

y = -1/3 x + b

pick either point.... and substitute it into the equation to find b.

if you choose (2, 3) substitute x = 2 and y = 3 into the equation

and solve for b

so

3 = -1/3 (2) + b

can you do that..?

Answer 5

ill try

Answer 6

try and leave your answer as a fraction

Answer 7

oops... it will be a mixed number... for b
