I Need Help With A Few Questions. Can Someone Help Me!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

post one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the questions, ill try to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm.. Show Work… Please.. & Find An Equation Of The Line Containing The Points. (-1,4) And (3,12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need the slope first do you know how to find it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uh I Thinkk Soo.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\color{red}{y_2}-\color{green}{y_1}}{\color{blue}{x_2}-\color{pink}{x_1}}\] \[\color{red}{y_2}=\color{red}{12},\color{green}{y_1}=\color{green}4\] \[\color{blue}{x_2}=\color{blue}3,\color{pink}{x_1}=\color{pink}{-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me know what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah i know that part. How Do I Solve Again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug them in, you get \[\frac{12-4}{3-(-1)}=\frac{8}{4}=2\] and that is your slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank You. I Have Another Problem. Help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is That All For This Problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then to find the equation of the line, use the "point slope" formula \[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] with \[m=2,y_1=12,x_1=3\] you are not done once you find the slope, you have to do that as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\ y-12=2(x-3)\]and you are probably still not done, you may have to solve for \(y\) to write it in the form \(y=mx+b\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another Problem..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write An Equation Of The Line That Passes Through The pint (5,6) With Slope 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Point*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is even easier, because you don't have to find the slope first, you already know it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope =2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] put \(m=2,x_1=5,y_1=6\) plug them in directly in to the point slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Let Me Do That Real Fast.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Far It's…. y-6=(x-5) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you missed the 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-6=2(x-5) **

OpenStudy (anonymous):

better then multiply out on the right using the distributive property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply By 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, distribute the 2 to remove the parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-6=2x-5 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-6=2x-15 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't forget the distributive law you have to multiply both terms by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ugh! Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(y-6=2x-10\) is what you are looking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

UGH!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y-6=2(x-5)\\ y-6=2\times x+2\times (-5)\\ y-6=2x-10\] then add \(6\) to both sides and get \[y=2x-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats All????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yeah, all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks Lol. Hmmm Write The Slope- Intercept Form Of The Equation Of The Line Passing Through The Point (2,6) And Parallel To The Line y=-5x+4…..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the line \(y=-2x+4\) has slope \(-5\) repeat the process above with \(m=-5,x_1=2,y_1=6\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops i meant the line \(\large y=-5x+4\) has slope \(-5\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I Write That Down?
