Answer 21

everything @Ahmad1

Answer 22

@jim_thompson5910 is no help

Answer 23

your welcome!

Answer 24

if you have y=mx+b and m is the slope which is 5/2 , then the equation becomes y=5x/2+b
just substitute the point you know which is (1,8) instead of (x,y)
then 8=(5/2)*1+b
b=8-5/2 then b= 11/2,,,,
so we have b and now ..
the equation is y=(5/2)x+(11/2)

Answer 25

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 5/2
(1,8) x1 = 1 and y1 = 8
now just sub that into the formula

Answer 26

y - 8 = 5/2(x - 1)
y - 8 = 5/2x - 5/2
y = 5/2x - 5/2 + 8
y = 5/2x - 5/2 + 16/2
y = 5/2x + 11/2

Answer 27

is that in point slope form?? @kelliegirl33 and @Ahmad1 ??

Answer 28

oh....point slope form......the answer is :
y - 8 = 5/2(x - 1)

Answer 29

that's correct, just use the formula y-y1 = m(x-x1)
