Question

Given the slope and one point, write the equation of the line in slope intercept form
m=3,(-3,5)

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

can you tell me the formula for slope intercept form?

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

and can you tell me the formula for slope-point form?

anonymous · Answer

i know the answer but can you show me how to get the answer.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

can you answer my questions first?

anonymous · Answer

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

and slope point?

anonymous · Answer

y-y1=m(x-x1)

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

now, can you plug your info into point slope form?

anonymous · Answer

everytime i do i get confused. but thats because i dont know where to plug in what.

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ok, so, what is m=?

anonymous · Answer

slope?

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

and our slope =?

anonymous · Answer

y=3x+14

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

no, that's not what I'm asking.  I'm asking what the value of the slope is

anonymous · Answer

i don't know. (-3,5)

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

You don't know the slope?  it's given.  what does m=?

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

Given the slope and one point, write the equation of the line in slope intercept form
m=3
(-3,5)

anonymous · Answer

i don't know what happened there

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

... I really don't know where you are confused.  Can you please elaborate?

anonymous · Answer

i don't understand how to plug in the numbers

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

oh, well what is your slope? m=? so just put whatever m equals in instead of m.  What is (x1,y1)? that's your point.  Just put in their values where they are respectively

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

ie.  3+x=4  x=1
3+1=4
