stuck on equation Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-6,1) and (-4,2).
Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-6,1) and (-4,2). m = 2 - 1/ -4 - (-6) = 1/ 2 = 0.5 y - 1 = 0.5 [x - (-6) ] y -1 = 0.5 [ x + 6] y - 1 =
Start with finding the slope of your line.
Then plug into the point slope formula and simplify.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
You're slope of 1/2 is correct.
thats what i did im stuck i've done other ones like this
just confused cuz the one is negative
i just want to know if im doing it right
\[y-1=0.5(x+6)\]
is this correct ? m= 2 -(-4)/ -2 - 0 = 6/ -2 = -3 y - (-4) = -3 (x-0) y + 4 = -3x + 0 y + 4 - 4 = -3x + 0 - 4 y = -3x - 4
wrong equation srry
is this correct m = 2 - 1/ -4 - (-6) = 1/ 2 = 0.5 y - 1 = 0.5 [x - (-6) ] y -1 = 0.5 [ x + 6] y - 1 + 1 = x + 6 + 1 y = x + 7
Close, but not correct.
\[y−1=0.5(x+6)\]
\[y-1= 0.5x+3\]
\[y=0.5x+4\]
where do you get the 0.5x+3
I added the 1 over to the other side to give you y =
no how did u get y−1=0.5(x+6) to y−1=0.5x+3
Hold on.
