Question

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line that passes through (1, 5) and (-2, 3)

jigglypuff314 · Answer

$$slope = \frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }$$ when given the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
standard form = ax + by = c
first you would have to get the equation of the line in either slope-intercept form or point-slope form, which were you taught?

anonymous · Answer

both but I still dont understand

jigglypuff314 · Answer

can you get the slope?

anonymous · Answer

could one of you guys help with my question?

umm... then Idk sorry :P

anonymous · Answer

haha! your fine

anonymous · Answer

jigglypuff314,   is it -2/-3

jigglypuff314 · Answer

@Gregk  but it's just logic... what numbers in the table in the august column match the matrix?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

yes and negative of negative is positive so the slope is 2/3

jigglypuff314 · Answer

then point-slope form is: y-y1 = m(x-x1) and you plug in what you know into that
