Remember the point slope form equation, \[y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m = -1/2
(x1,y1) = (-2,-3)
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
plug the value of x1, y1 and m in the above equation and then write it in the from
Ax +By = C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=1/2x-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = -1/2x -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is the slope intercept form
write this equation in standard form

1/2x+y=-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes its right now multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of 1/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+2y=-8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes its the required standard from

can you help me with another?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes sure

Input the equation of the given line in standard form.
The line including the two points (5, 3), (8, -2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
midpoint is -5/3 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no dont try to find the midpoint you just need the equation in standard form

here is trick the slope is not given
can you find the slope from the given two points???????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
????????????????????????????????????????????
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't know how...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the answer 5x+y=16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have these two points.
(5, 3), (8, -2)
use the following formula to calculate the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
here y2 = -2 y1 = 3 x2 = 8 and x1 = 5

dont go for the answer directly
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when you calculate the slope, you get =5/3 right/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope = -5/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now take one of the two points and find the equation by using the formula
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y- -3=-5/3(x-5)
y+3=-5/3x+25/3

then you'd multiply by 3 on each side right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y-3 = -5/3(x-5)
now simplify this equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y+3=-5/3x+25/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its not y+3 its y-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the rest is ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):
y-3=-5/3x+25/3
y +5/3x = 25/3 +3
multiply both sides by 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3y+5x=28 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3y + 5x = 25 + 9
3y + 5x = 34
or
5x +3y = 34 -----> take your answer
