Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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 )

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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
