Question

Could some one help me?

Answer 1

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line through the given points.

P(0, -4), Q(5, 1)

Answer 2

Should i sent a picture?

Answer 3

sure

Answer 4

i only have until 12:00 then my school closes

Answer 5

start by finding the slope of PQ

Answer 6

1

Answer 7

after that

Answer 8

Yes, slope = m = \(\large \dfrac{1--4}{5-0} = \dfrac{5}{5} = 1\)

Answer 9

I really dont know

Answer 10

its okay, did u get how we calculated the slope = 1 ?

Answer 11

yes much better then my teacher

Answer 12

good, since we knw that slope = m = 1,
next we write the equation in `slope intercept` from :

\(\large y = mx + b\)

Answer 13

put m = 1

Answer 14

\(\large y = 1x + b\)


plugin one of the given points and find the value of \(\large b\)

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

plugin P(0, -4) in above equation :

\(\large -4 = 1(0) + b\)

\(\large -4 = b\)

Answer 17

So the equation of line in `slope-intercept ` form is :
\(\large y = 1x - 4\)

Answer 18

know how to convert this to standard form ?

Answer 19

standard form :
\(\large Ax + By = C\)

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

\(\large y = 1x - 4 \)

\(\large 1x - y = 4\)

\(\large x - y = 4 \)

Answer 22

is that the answer?

Answer 23

^^thats the final equation in standard form

Answer 24

ok thanks so much . Your explanation is a million times better then reading 3 paragraphs

Answer 25

glad to hear that ! yw :)
