Question

I GIVE MEDALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which is an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the points (7,5) and (-4,-1)

Answer 1

point slope form :
\[y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\]
\[m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }\]
\[m = \frac{ (-1) - (5) }{ (-4) - (7) }\]

Answer 2

can you do the rest @sammy34daisy ?

Answer 3

can u still help not quite sure never learned this

Answer 4

m= -6/-11

Answer 5

y = mx + b
slope (m) = [5-(-1)]/[7-(-4)] = 6/11 or 0.545
Y = (6/11)x + b plug in one of the points, solve for the intercept
-1 = (6/11)(-4) + b
b = -1 -24/11 = -35/11 = -3.182

Answer 6

I have to go, sorry. Just solve for m, then plus that into the equation as well as y1 and x1

Answer 7

i dont understand

Answer 8

@judygreeneyes , that is slope-intercept form not point-slope

Answer 9

True -- y – y1 = m(x – x1) is the way you would get the slope, but to solve for m, you still need to rearrange and solve for m = (y-y1)/(x-x1) so to me they end up the same.

Answer 10

m= -6/-11

Answer 11

almost there but the term (x-1) is not quite right - check it again plz? :)

Answer 12

(x+1)

Answer 13

y + 5 = 6/11(x + 7)

Answer 14

still no....its for x1 remember...

Answer 15

(x+4)

Answer 16

sorry, "-" not "+"
y - 5 = 6/11(x - 7)

Answer 17

I think you want an x value in the 2nd part
y-(-1) = (6/11) (x-(-4))

Answer 18

yup yup u got it...now simplify n u will get the final answer :)

Answer 19

y+1=6/11(x+4)

Answer 20

questions said slope-point form so u got it :)

Answer 21

Right, you can use either (x,y) point to find the intercept now that you have the slope.

y-5 = (6/11)(x-7) works also

Answer 22

Good job @sammy34daisy!
