Question

. Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-1, 2) with a slope of -
5
2
in slope-intercept.
B. Graph the equation of the line.

Answer 1

the thing you attach is empty

Answer 2

First there is nothing on the attachment
Second you should put it into point slope formula

Answer 3

ugh. idk how to attach the graph. sorry

Answer 4

Its okay

Answer 5

is the slope 5/2 or is it just 5?

Answer 6

it is -5/2

Answer 7

Alright the best way to do this is to start with Point Slope form do you know that?

Answer 8

no. honestly not sure of any thing with slopes

Answer 9

Its okay :)

Answer 10

the formula is y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 11

Do you know what your y1, m, and x1 are?

Answer 12

i wanna say the slope?

Answer 13

M is the slope and x1 and y1 are the x and ys of the point (-1,2)

Answer 14

so x1 and y1 repsent -5/2 ?

Answer 15

Now what would the formula look like?

Answer 16

No the -5/2 would represent the slope

Answer 17

the x1 would be the -1 and the y1 would be 2

Answer 18

okaayy lol i thinking i'm starting to understand. So, i may be wrong but what you're saying is x1 and y1 represent 2 ?

Answer 19

here let me explain a little more in depth okay?

Answer 20

okay. thank you, it's all very confusing.

Answer 21

the slope equation is y = mx + b where m is slope that you already have and b represent y -intercept and you have order pair which represent x and y

Answer 22

plug this in to the equation and solve for b
