OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is -5, that would be your m value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the point (2,-7) responds to (x1,y1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute that into the equation y-y1=m(x=x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= mx + b y= -5 - 7 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or y= -5 ( 2 - 7) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, the -7 isn't the y-intercept. The y-intercept is when the line meets the y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-(-7)=-5(x-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try from here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

expand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+7=-5x+10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u change it to + :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, a minus and a minus turn into a plus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so you -5 on each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you get 7 & then divide by 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, y+7=-5x+10 y=-5x+10-7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 7 on both sides, then simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

therefore y=-5x+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay then do you do anything else? I got y= -5x + 3 ! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, that's the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh okay :) I'm on question 7 now
