Question

Write an equation in standard form for a line passing through A(-2, 3) and B(3, 4)

Answer 1

First find slope..
Slope formula:
\[\frac{ (y2-y1) }{ (x2-x1) }\]

Answer 2

1/5

Answer 3

4-3/3-(-2)
1/5 correct

Answer 4

Now do you know the formula of how to find equation?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

gtg @Luigi0210 please help her

Answer 7

so b = 17/5

Answer 8

To find an equation you have to use the point-slope formula:
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 9

Uri was right about finding the slope.
m=slope
Now you have to choose 1 point out of those two, which one would you like to use?

Answer 10

(-2, 3)

Answer 11

Oh sorryyy
Formula is
y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=3
x1=-2

Plug in the formula @ejune420

Answer 12

values*

Answer 13

y-3=1/5(x+2)

Answer 14

Yup, now just distribute and finish the problem :)

Answer 15

x-2* not +

Answer 16

No she's right

Answer 17

It's (x-(-2))

Answer 18

So finish it off and show me what you get as a final answer.

Answer 19

I got to y-3=1/5x+2/5 and idk what to do next

Answer 20

Oh okay..

Answer 21

Oh uri :3

Now what you do is add 3 to both sides.

Answer 22

y=1/5x+17/5

Answer 23

Yea, and there's your answer :)

Answer 24

thats not an answer choice :/

Answer 25

What are the choices?

Answer 26

5x-y=17
x-y=1
x-5y=19
x-5y=-17

Answer 27

Oh, standard form.. oops, sorry.

Answer 28

Okay, what we do is get y and x all on one side. SO move the x over.

Answer 29

y-1/5x=17/5

Answer 30

Yes, but make sure x is the leading value

Answer 31

sooo -1/5x+y=17/5

Answer 32

So it's \[-\frac{1}{5}x+y=\frac{17}{5}\]

Answer 33

that's still not an answer choice though :(

Answer 34

We're not done yet, be patient :P

Answer 35

hahah oh sorry :p

Answer 36

Okay, so in standard form:
Ax+By=C

x can not be a fraction nor negative, so we need to get rid of that -1/5, do you know how?

Answer 37

ummmmm multiply by 5?

Answer 38

*-5
And yes, just do that and you'll have your solution :)

Answer 39

x-5y=-17?

Answer 40

Yea :)

Answer 41

thanks so much!

Answer 42

Anytime ☺
