Question

I'm stuck can someone help me? :c

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (3, 4) and (–3, –8) in point-slope form.

y-intercept: (0,-2)
m= 2

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y--2=2(x-0)

y+2=2x-0

Answer 1

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y--2=2(x-0)

y+2=2x-0
thats in point slope

Answer 2

i think 75% sure

Answer 3

That's wrong though, it's asking me foor the line that intersects y-intercepts from the two points...

Answer 4

@TheHero, you plug one of given points in either (3,4) or (-3,8) to the point slope formula if you want point-slope form. If I were you, I'd plug in the first point (3,4):

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 4 = 2(x - 3)
y - 4 = 2x - 6

Answer 5

Sorry, I put the points in backwards.

Answer 6

@Hero That's wrong though, it's asking me foor the line that intersects y-intercepts from the two points...

Answer 7

The original question says to use point-slope form. Now you're bringing up something completely different.

Answer 8

Write the EQUATION OF THE LINE THAT /PASSES THROUGH/ THE POINTS (3, 4) and (–3, –8) in point-slope form.

Answer 9

Yes, and the work I wrote above answers your question.

Answer 10

Maybe, I'm the one that doesn't understand it.... D: Can you explain the question to me?

Answer 11

The point slope formula is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

You plug the given point (3,4) into the formula. Then you simplify it

Answer 12

Uhm ,alright then thank you! D:
