Question

The equation of the line through (8,6) and (2,-4) is
a.)5x-3y=22
b.)y=3/5x+8/5
c.) 3x+4y=48
d.) -4x+2y=-16

Answer 1

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y-6=5/3(x-8)
y-6=5/3x-10
y=5/3x-4
how would I simplify it?

Answer 2

b is not -4

Answer 3

slope is right 5/3 try to find b again :)

Answer 4

It is -40/3 plus 6=-22/3 ?

Answer 5

would it be a?

Answer 6

yes it is a

Answer 7

but when we solve first equation for y we cannot get -4

Answer 8

this is how you should solve for b
