Please help me, equation in point slope forms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the equation in point slope form of the line assing through 0,6 and 1,3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Finding the slope? Do you know what the formula is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I know how to find the slope. But it's asking about the equation in point slope form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the point slope form is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2-y1 over x2-x1 you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Point slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) Label the coordinates and just plug in the ys and x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slope is -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are the answers. A. (y-3)=-3(x-1) B. (y+3)=3(x+1) C. (y+3)=-3(x+1) D. (y-3)=3(x+6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You told me the slope is -3. Therefore, m= -3 We'll use (1,3) for x1 and y1 (y-3) = -3(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I guess I didn't know that formula. Thank you. :) Can you help me with this other one? It's average rate of change.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try, lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok lol Find the average rate of change for the given function from x=-1 to x=5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Theres a chart like this: x -1 3 5 and then there is another side labeled y 7 3 1 And they are side by side. It wont let me draw it but I can try to get it for you if you need it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One second. Sorry, people are asking me all these questions lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright.. Let's see. I know that the formula is A(x) = f(x) - f(a) all over x -a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't done this in a long time. I'm afraid I can't help. Sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. well I think I will just call for help on that one lol. Its cool though thanks so much :)
