Question

what is the slope intercept form for points 6,8 10,3
please explain

Answer 1

@texaschic101

Answer 2

First you have to find the slope m using (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where 6 is x1, 8 is y1, 10 is x2, and 3 is y2

Answer 3

please i need helpp

Answer 4

http://mathb.in/12756 <--- what would be the value of the slope?

Answer 5

slope = (3-8)/(10-6). what is the slope?

Answer 6

-5/4 @larryboxaplenty

Answer 7

Good, now we put in into slope intercept form, We can choose either points, I will pick (6,8).

y-y1=m(x-x1) where y1 is 8, m is (-5/4), and x1 is 6

Answer 8

Plug it x1 and y1, and solve for y.

Answer 9

since -5/4 =-1.25 i out that in as m

Answer 10

@larryboxaplenty

Answer 11

y-(8)=(-5/4)(x-6) solve for y

Answer 12

can u walk me throught the steps of that

Answer 13

y-8=(-5/4)(x-6)
keep y-8 alone for now, and distribute the (-5/4) to the x and -6

Answer 14

What do you get

Answer 15

for -5/4 x6 i got 7.-5 and the x just stays right

Answer 16

Kind of hard to read, but yes. You get (-5/4)x+7.5

Answer 17

Now you have y-8=(-5/4)x+7.5 You want the y by itself on the left side so solve for y

Answer 18

i really dont know what to do from here

Answer 19

You want to get rid of the negative 8 on the left side, so you add 8 on both sides of the equation.

Answer 20

visual please. i am a visual learner

Answer 21

y-8+8=(-5/4)x+7.5+8 -8+8=0, so:

y=(-5/4)x+7.5+8
y=(-5/4)x+15.5

that is the equation.

Answer 22

do you understand?

Answer 23

yes now i do thanks you

Answer 24

Remember, if you have 2 points:

1)find slope
2)use a point in slope-intercept form
3)solve for y
