Question

Still a little confused on what equation to use and how to figure this out! Any one please help me out?

Find the slope of a line that passes through the points (2, –3) and (–1, 4).

Answer 1

first solve for the slope then use the y-intercept form to get the equation

Answer 2

do you know how to solve for the slope @SleepEatRugby

Answer 3

M = y2 - y1/X2 - x1

Answer 4

use point slope

Answer 5

@sweetburger @tHe_FiZiCx99 I got this... you two can calm down

Answer 6

point slope form i tell you

Answer 7

@nincompoop oki :(

Answer 8

@SleepEatRugby you need to respond

Answer 9

I keep getting a negative number as the denominator for the slope would this be wrong?

Answer 10

show me how you are solving for the slope

Answer 11

(4 - -3)/2 + (-1 - 2)/2

Answer 12

\[slope=m=\frac{ rise }{ run }=\frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }=\frac{ 4-(-3) }{ -1-2 }\]

Answer 13

where are you getting the denominator 2? I think your mixing up mid-point and slope formulas

Answer 14

then whatever your m (slope) is plug it into the point-slope form
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
use either (2, -3) or (-1, -4) as your x1 and y1

Answer 15

are you still there?
