Please do this one on your own as much as possible.

Understand that I do..@skullpatrol I've been doing math though for 10 hours st8 today. i'm just not up to typing it all out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry! iam just dead tireddd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so slope is -3 right?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

that doesnt mean we will give away the answer ...if you are tired take rest and make fresh attempt later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as in the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't.. It's like 3am right now :( I'm like basically done..I'm never asked for the answer i asked for help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* I never :) Okay so plugging it in i got y=-3x + -2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's why aliens don't wear purple hats or eat waffles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Krispyhaha Okay ??? random lol!

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$y=-3x + (-2)$$ is not the POINT slope form; it is the slope INTERCEPT form. Do you see the difference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh!! I see the difference!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah so not what do I do?? just subtract them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i view this as a learning experience for everyone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Chelsea04 Ditto!! Highly agreed :)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

No, do not just subtract them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh huh, actually admittedly, when it said point-slope form, I thought it meant y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but now i see the difference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well - + - = @Chelsea04 me too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- + - = ??

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

There are TWO different ways to express the idea of a line the "slope INTERCEPT" form, $$y=mx+b$$ and the "POINT slope" form $$y-y1 =m(x-x1)$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@k.rajabhishek

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right i know that so now what do i do??

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Try to answer the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
