Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given points.

E(-2, 2), F(5, 1)

Answer 1

I would suggest finding the slope using the slope formula first.

Answer 2

recall
y=mx+b

so solve the following system
2=-2m+b
1=5m+b

Answer 3

that was helping helper michael

Answer 4

Im sorry Im not understanding this problem

Answer 5

I would actually use \[m=\frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 6

Use that ^^^ to find the slope first.

Answer 7

m = 1-2
5-2

Answer 8

-1-3

Answer 9

Everything is correct except
not 5 - 2 (remember that E is (-2,2))

Answer 10

oh ok so -1- -7

Answer 11

Im still lost Paynesdad

Answer 12

Ok so ...\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }= \frac{ 1-2 }{ 5-(-2)} \] ...
you had 5- 2 instead of 5 - (-2)... don't lose those negatives!

Answer 13

y=-1
x=-7

Answer 14

5 - (-2) is not -7

Answer 15

x=7 sorry

Answer 16

So you have m = -1/7.

Answer 17

Now what is the point slope formula?

Answer 18

so the answer is 7x- (-1) y

Answer 19

what is the point slope formula

Answer 20

\[y - y _{1}=m \left( x-x _{1} \right)\]
