Question

What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and (3, 7)?

y = −2x + 1

y = −2x − 1

y = 2x + 1

y = 2x − 1

Answer 1

im not shore

Answer 2

shore ?

Answer 3

its not d or b right

Answer 4

idk im asking this or a reason

Answer 5

it might be c

Answer 6

y = 2x + 1

Answer 7

no wait its a im shore y = −2x + 1

Answer 8

u there

Answer 9

Please, no guessing, especially if you're trying to be a helper here.

@jenniferjuice: You are given two points in the plane. There is a formula meant specifically for finding the slope of the line connecting two given points.

Would you type out that formula here, please? If you're unsure of what the formula looks ilke, please do an Internet search for "slope of a straight line."

Answer 10

m=y1-y2/x1-x2 ?

Answer 11

That'd be perfect if you'd please enclose both numerator and denominator in parentheses. As your expression is now, there's ambiguity. Please do this now, OK?

Answer 12

do i fnd the slope ?

Answer 13

Yes, definitely, using the slope formula that we're still discussing. Mind writing it out again, this time with numerator and denominator enclosed in parentheses?

Answer 14

Once you have that formula, decide which point is #1 and which point is #2, and substitute the appropriate coordinates into the slope formula.

Answer 15

Example: If you decide that point #1 is (3,7), then x1= 3 and y1=7.
