Answer 2

hmm the point slope... form... ok... that only gets you the slope so

@texaschic101 do you know it

Answer 5

first we need to find the slope by using the slope formula.
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(4,4) x1 = 4 and y1= 4
(6,8) x2 = 6 and y2 = 8
now we sub
slope = (8 - 4) / (6 - 4)
slope = 4/4 which equals 1

now we use the point-slope formula :
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 1
you can pick either set of points...
(4,4) x1 = 4 and y1 = 4
now we sub
y - 4 = 1(x - 4) ==> this is your point slope form

or this point...
(6,8) x1 = 6 and y1 = 8
slope(m) = 1
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 8 = 1(x - 6) ==> this is also point-slope form

It does not matter which points you pick, the ending answer when solved will result in the same line.

any questions ?

oh, and also, putting it in point-slope form does not mean solving it. Just put it in that form, parenthesis and all.

Answer 6

you also got to be careful if you have negative numbers in your sets of points...either when finding the slope or putting it in point-slope form. Sometimes you will come across something like this... 2 - (-3) or -3 - (-2). Just pay attention to your signs, keeping in mind that two like signs when multiplied together are positive.
