Question

trying to put (2, -5) (-1, 0) in slope intercept form
y + mx + b
would it be -5 = m2 +b ?

Answer 1

@ganeshie8

Answer 2

No

The slope is given by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

First work that out from the 2 points you have been given.

Post oyur answer here first

Answer 3

all I have to do is put it in the form not find the answer

Answer 4

I already tried what you just told me and what I posted is what I got

Answer 5

you have not understood the question.

In order to put it in the form you must 'find the answer'

If you do what I suggest - you will be on the way. If not .... you choose

You haven't done
y2-y1
or
x2-x1

Take the x and y values from the 2 points and do that

(it sounds like you don't really want to do much - if so - please say so...

Answer 6

this is the question 1. Using the two points provided, write the equation of the line in the following forms. 2, -5) and ( -1, 0)

Answer 7

It says "write the equation of the line "

If oyu don't want my help that's OK with me

If oyu do - then please do what I suggested above

Answer 8

I don't know how to do what you suggested

Answer 9

the 2 points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Take the values of the points given in the question and write down 2 things:

y2-y1
x2-x1

That's all for now....
