need help on a problem will give a medal

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

The problem being?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left( 4,-6 \right) m=\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\]

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

What's the question, solve for m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i need to put this in point-slope form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the equation of the line through the point \((4,-6)\) with slope \(\frac{3}{5}\)

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Ohh, Your coordinates are (4,-6) Your slope is 3/5 So plug in, y - y1 = m(x-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can you help me with the rest so i can find the answer and use it as notes

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I'll guide you, you plug it in and I'll tell you if its wrong :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

:p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so can you help me with the rest please

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Just plug in! Your y1 is -6 your x1 is 4 M = slope ... your slope is 3/5 So, y -y1 = M(x-x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok so i grt it now would my answer be\[y-6 = \frac{ 3 }{ 5 } (x+4)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tHe_FiZiCx99

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

You missed something, y-(-6) is y + 6 and -x1 --> -(4) is -4 So, y + 6 = 3/5(x-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you now these types of problems are easier

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

:p
