ANYONE GOOD AT MATH standard form of a line with a slope of 7/8 and passes through points (2, 7) and (–6, 0)
standard form of a line with a slope of 7/8 and passes through points (2, 7) and (–6, 0)
@amistre64 @ash2326
I worked it out to this point but can't figure out what to do next
y=mx+c take any one point and the slope \[\frac{ 7 }{8 }=\frac{ y-0 }{ x--6 }\] \[\frac{ 7 }{8 }=\frac{ y }{ x+6 }\] cross multiply \[7(x+6)=8y\] simplify and arrange in the form of y=mx+c
where did you reach in your working...we can try work from where you got stuck
I found the slope and was stuck
oh, ok...have you understood what i have done?
Am I correct in saying that I can just simplify your final equation above for the answer?
definately,that is what you should do :) i have left you to do the rest lol
its ok thx so much I just started pre calc and am still learning how to do some stuff I am not usually like this with math but I guess after this past summer I need to get myself back in a groove
lol...no worries
thx so much if you ever find you need help witch I doubt but if you ever do mention me and I will see what I can do
hahaha lol!! i do need help sometimes and i will mention you..soon!! so better get yourself back in a groove lol
yeah I will
@Mokeira
the final product of your equation is not in my answers
what are the answers?
–7x + 8y = 42 –7x – 8y = 42 –7x + 8y = –42 8x + 7y = 42
what did you get when you simplified.... the answer is among the choices
7x+42=8x
\[7(x+6)=8y\] \[7x+42=8y\] take 7x to the other side \[42=8y-7x\] which is same as \[-7x+8y=42 \]
oh ok thx s much for coming back and helping me
u elcome :)
