Answer 1

can u help me wit a question

Answer 2

Write an equation in slope-intercept, point-slope, or standard form for the line with the given information. Explain why you chose the form you used?

Answer 3

A: passes through (-1,4) and (-5,2)

Answer 4

which form do you want to do?

Answer 5

standard form

Answer 6

If I am you, I would use point-slope form. We have to find the point-slope form before finding the standard form (as far as I know).

First of all, try to find the slope.

Answer 7

ok i'll udse point- slope form then

Answer 8

ok so how do i do this

Answer 9

do you know what the point slope form is?

Answer 10

1/2 is the slope

Answer 11

yea i think so

Answer 12

mid point is (-3,3)

Answer 13

\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 14

you do not need the midpoint

just plug in your slope for m
and just one of the points

Answer 15

what point

Answer 16

can u show me

Answer 17

The two points that are given (i.e. (-1,4) or (-5,2)). Just pick one.

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

can u plug it in for me i don't know how to solve it

Answer 20

@nikato

Answer 21

\[
y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
\]
Let say you pick the (-1,4) as the point. You know \(m=\dfrac{1}{2}\), \(y_1=4\) and \(x_1=-1\). Just make substitution and do it .

Answer 22

\[(y-4)=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(x+1)\]
or
\[y-2=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(x+5)\]

Answer 23

becuz ur points are written like this \[(x _{1},y _{1})\]

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

thanx

Answer 26

no problem
