Question

Someone please help me! I'm willing to learn this and I'm really struggling to finish algebra 2!

Answer 1

Okay guys, so how do I go about finding point A from the launch pad! I'm relying on you guys to help me learn! I'm a bad self educator :(

Answer 2

Pick 3 points to fly thru .... label them A, B, and C

Answer 3

the rest of it is really just busy work to see if youve got the concept of the different forms of a line equation

Answer 4

Okay, honestly I'm clueless of line equations. So i can create 3 points of my choice, (1,2) (3,6) (4,8)?

Answer 5

(1,2) is already picked ... you might want to pick something else instead of that one

Answer 6

say (2,3)

Answer 7

finding the equation of a line amounts to finding the slope between 2 points, and then attaching it to one of the points ....

Answer 8

the slope between 2 points is just subtraction, followed by division:

take the 2 points (2,3) and (1,2), subtract one from the other

(2,3)
-(1,2)
------
(1,1) , and then divide the y part by the x part: 1/1 = 1 in this case

Answer 9

so for a slope of 1, lets attach it to one of the points .. I pick the point (2,3)

(y-3) = 1(x-2)

the rest is just moving things around for the proper "form" they are asking for

Answer 10

Do you use this to find the slope? or to move into proper form?? x1 = 1, y1 = - 4, x2 = -4, and y2 = 2.

Answer 11

i dont rely on formulations ... simply because they are a lousy way to organize the data. I tend to place wrong values in the wrong spots. So I organize the data in a different way to get to the same results

Answer 12

I have to be heading out at the moment, and wont be back online till tomorrow. There is alot of information to cover for this assignment, and I simply dont have the time left to address them.

Answer 13

Okay in standard form i need to determine the equation of the line from the pad to A & I understand that xD just got me a little mixed up cause we've learned things different'y. and okay thats fine. thanks for the help.

Answer 14

Alright so putting (Y-3)=1(x-2) into standard form now, & then i can use that from launch pad to point A?
