What would be the point-slope equation, using these two points: (-5, 3) and (4, -6)?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Given that AC and AE are common external tangents of circle G and circle D, FE = 15, GF = 3, and AG = 5, which is the length of AC?

anonymous · Answer

slope formula is
$$\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }$$

anonymous · Answer

so once you plug in ur numbers
$$\frac{ -6-3 }{ 4-(-5) }$$

anonymous · Answer

After that we put the slope in the formula, $$y-y0= m(x-x0)$$ ?

anonymous · Answer

do you mean onece you find the slop you have to put it into slope interscept form?

anonymous · Answer

Once I find the slope, I have to make a point-slope equation. I think that's the formula ^^

anonymous · Answer

the formula you have is point slope form that is right LOL sorry I got confused

anonymous · Answer

It's cool, I got it. Thanks! (:

No Problem :)
