Which of the following are equations for the line shown below (-1,5) (3,2) y - 5 = -0.75(x + 1) B. y - 3 = -0.75(x - 2) C. y - 2 = -0.75(x - 3) D. y - 5 = -0.75(x - 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

K so we have 2 get the slope? Can u do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol 0.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i came up with b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yeah true, smart u saw they all had -0.75 so yes lol that has 2 be it :p ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok let me check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so u got C right, but B isn't.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Don't we... I don't know, need to see the line? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When u used (3,2) it gave u C now trying using point-slope formula with the other point (-1,5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah true lol @terenzreignz it's either A or C but we need the line :p

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Never mind, just saw the two points... :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lolXD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, so do we need a line @terenzreignz ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my 2nd one is d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

couldn't it be either A or C ?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Two points are enough to determine the equation of the line :) And these seem to be the two points that determine it all right :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one is +1

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

oh yeah, A or C... strange...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

il go wit c and d

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Last resort... show the line :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k hey ghost, type the A or C into www.wolframalpha.com and it'll show u the line equation & see which ones looks like ur answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was a and c -_- i got to go brb

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Both? LOL at least it's not wrong :D
