OpenStudy (cj49):
y − y1 = 2(x − x1)
slope y=mx+b
here the slope is 2
y-(-5)=2(x-4)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so y+5=2x-4???
OpenStudy (cj49):
nopes y+5=2x-8
OpenStudy (cj49):
y=2x-8-5
y=2x-13
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oooh, my bad, i forgot to distribute the 2 with the 4.

so would y=2x-13 be the answer??
OpenStudy (cj49):
yes...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright, thank you!! can you help me with one more?
OpenStudy (cj49):
yw..sure

they have those two set of numbers.
OpenStudy (cj49):
so u need 3 equations ryt
OpenStudy (anonymous):
two. one for (-2, 15), 9,-18
and one for (8, -8) slope 3
OpenStudy (cj49):
y-15=-18-15/9-(-2) (x-(-2))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wpuld i distribute the 9 into all numbers?

y-15=-33/11(x+2)
y-15=-3(x+2)
y-15=-3x+6
3x+y=21
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ooooh, okay! i see.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would the one with the slope be y-8=3(x+8)?
OpenStudy (cj49):
y − y1 = 3(x − x1)
y-(-8)=3(x-8)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y+8=3x-8?
