Question

My TWO POINTS ARE---> (0,5) and (2,3)
1.Select two ordered pair points of your own. (Just pick any two points that seem relatively easy to work with.) Be sure to list these points for your instructor. Find the slope and show your work.
2.Take the points you have selected and write the equation of the line using the point-slope formula. Change the equation to slope-intercept form. Show the work.
3.Take the points you have selected and write the equation of the line using the slope-intercept formula. Show the work.

Answer 1

please help me ive tried so many different ways and it never works

Answer 2

Do you know the formula to find the slope from two given points?

Answer 3

yeah y2-y1/x2-x1? or y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 4

What value did you get for the slope?

Answer 5

1

Answer 6

Not really.
\[\frac{y _{2}-y _{1}}{x _{2}-x _{1}}=\frac{3-5}{2-0}=\ ?\]

Answer 7

i did that and got -2/2 if you divide that it equals 1

Answer 8

or -1

Answer 9

The result -1 is correct. The result 1 is what you get from 2/2. Do you understand?

Answer 10

yes thank you also is #1 done?

Answer 11

Yes, that finishes #1. Do you need help with #2?

Answer 12

yes and three please

Answer 13

The standard form of the equation of a line is y = mx + b.
If we plug in the value found for m we get
y = -1x + b which can be simplified to
y = -x + b
Do you follow so far?

Answer 14

yes go on omg thanks so much

Answer 15

so write that for two and move to three? i just dont get the changing from point slope to slope intercept

Answer 16

The question asks you to use the point-slope formula which is
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
Plugging in the values for the point (0, 5) gives
y - 5 = -1(x - 0) which simplifies to
y - 5 = -x ........(1)
The slope intercept form is y = mx + b. If you add 5 to both sides of equation (1) you will get the required solution. Can you do that?

Answer 17

um...... i have no idea, y+0=-5x?

Answer 18

y - 5 = -x ........(1)
Adding 5 to both sides of equation (1) gives
y - 5 + 5 = -x + 5 ..........(2)
Can you now simplify (2)?

Answer 19

i have to go in 10 minutes and yes it will be y-10=-5x?

Answer 20

y - 5 + 5 = -x + 5 ..........(2)
The result of simplifying the left hand side is
y - 5 + 5 = y + 0 = y
Therefore (2) simplifies to
y = -x + 5

Answer 21

so thats the answer for two?

Answer 22

Yes. I think we have covered the work for #3. I have to go now also.
