FAN AND MEDAL WILL BE AWARDED <3 The launch area is identified on the map below. Select three points for your spacecraft to travel through and label them Point A, Point B, and Point C. Log the coordinates of the specific points in space to which your spacecraft will travel. Please remember to include the graph of your points and the lines connecting each point along with your work. Launch Area:___(1, 2)___ Point A:__________ Point B:__________ Point C:__________ You must show your work on each question below. 1.Determine the equation of the line, in standard form, that will get your spacecraft from the Launch Area to Point A. 2.Determine the equation of the line, in point-slope form, that will get your spacecraft from Point A to Point B. 3.Determine the equation of the line, in slope-intercept form, that will get your spacecraft from Point B to Point C. 4.In question 2, you selected one of two points (Point A or Point B) to be included in your point-slope equation. Write the point-slope form of that equation again, using the other point’s coordinates. 5.Convert the equations you arrived at in question 2 and question 4 into slope-intercept form. 6.Does the point you select matter when your write a point-slope equation? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences. 7.Reflect back on this scenario and each equation you created. Would any restrictions apply to the domain and range of those equations? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences. 8.Explain, using complete sentences, why it is important to understand any limitations on the domain and range.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me think really quick.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay , take your time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have the three points that you selected?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I don't have anything lol ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have a family emergency to take care of I will return shortly !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ill be here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lets say you have you have the coordinates like this, A(4,1) B(0,-3) and C(-3,3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first line would be from the Launch pad to point A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you read what i put?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes let me write it all down so I can then put it in a word doc.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FICK FICK wingspan wingspan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

CHODE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wingspanBAG CHODE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jk lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um ? ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am just as confused as you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F U C K OFF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dude you're on MY question . Please leave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Back to what we were doing, did you pick coordinates or use mine?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to go ahead and use yours if that's okay with you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its fine, do you have the slope for points Launch to point A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh , not yet . I'm typing what I have so far in my document . One second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Btw isn't standard form ax+by=c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sweet so it says that we need the points in standard form for each line. To be honest with you I am terrible with this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me too D': .. That's why I posted it here for help haha . But it's fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you remember how to set it up with the points? Cause I am in calculus and we barely use that anymore.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on a minute I'll post the information

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any luck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol yes one more moment :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://courses.wccnet.edu/~palay/precalc/22mt01.htm will this help ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was just looking at that lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is the slope and b is the y-int c is just what it equals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaQXFstxCMo it helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh God , a video ._. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i am still watching.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me too .-.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I CAN'T DO THIS UGH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We might be out of luck :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you're right ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hang on what is the slope of the first two coordinates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/3. y=-1/3+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1=-1/3(4/1)+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea omg ..... :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify -1/3 (4/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now take that and put it in for the -1/3(4/1) and get 1=-4/3+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what is that the answer to ? :o I'm so lost ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind i am so lost right now too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omg ... Okay well I guess I will just forget about this and fail it because there is no way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i feel bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No no lol . It's not your fault , I actually appreciate you attempting to help me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol attempt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha I didn't know any other way to say it . You tried but didn't really help muuchh D': I'M SORRY :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its fine i had a lot of trouble too on this topic, btw is this something off of a online class?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah it's for my algebra 2 class . I freaking hate mathematics .. With a burning passion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your just like me. The online courses don't teach crap, i basically live off of youtube.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha I enjoy YouTube a lot . But it's just my brain refuses to retain any mathematical information and I have no Earthly clue why ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well Sorry i couldn't help you with the problem I enjoyed "trying" lol see ya.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha byee
