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

Question

anonymous · Answer

well you have to know the 
slope formula
and point slope formula

ybarrap · Answer

$ (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = m$ , plug in your coordinates and see what ya get

anonymous · Answer

first you have to get the slope 
using the formula @ybarrap   put

anonymous · Answer

|dw:1375073795252:dw|

anonymous · Answer

this answer should give you 
your slope = m

you can use this to plug it into the next equation 
which will be the point slope formula
y - y1 =m ( x - x1 )

anonymous · Answer

just in case you were wondering though
the  i used
y -y1
instead of 
y1 - y2
its only a way distinguish between the coordinates

anonymous · Answer

so...
just plug in you coordinates again
make sure you dont get mixed up in you calculations 
and that should give the answer in 
slope intercept form
