Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form. Passing through (-5, -7) and (-8, -6) A. y - 7 = -1/3 (x - 5) or y - 6 = -1/3 (x - 8) B. y + 7 = -1/3 (x + 5) or y + 6 = -1/3 (x + 8) C. y + 7 = -1/3 x - 5 or y + 6 = -1/3 x + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it C

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I C U

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I see you :), well so much for that, well dunno, get 'm' first :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

what's the 'm', or the slope, from the graphic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o I know it meant I see you

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, from the formula in the graphic, how WOULD you get 'm'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by dividing

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes, as shown there :), so, there, what would you get?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

m=B?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I think is supposed to have a number value :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im saying that the answer is B

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok, how did you get that? by rolling a dice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, is that what's expected? hehe

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

get the slope, or 'm' from the graphic, and then we can take it from there :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll answer that but just let me know if B is correct or not

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

we never know that, that's the idea of the test, to write the equation, once you have the equation, you'll know which is what

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I mean, otherwise I'm sure you're teacher would have said, "ok fellas, here's the test, make sure you use an 8-ball and shake it, if not a couple of dice will do"

o man I have to go for sec...thanks for the help tho
