Answer 2

same steps as before since they want it in point-slope form

Answer 3

y-ysub1=m+(x-xsub1) right

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

you can just write y1 instead of "ysub1"

Answer 6

same with x1

Answer 7

oh it's not m+(x-x1)

Answer 8

oh ok

Answer 9

it's m times (x-x1)

Answer 10

yeah i know so anyway \[m=\frac{ -5-(-4) }{ 7-(-5) }\]

Answer 11

m=-1/12

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

y+4=-1/2(x+5) right

Answer 14

I think you meant to say -1/12 instead of -1/2

Answer 15

yeah i did

Answer 16

its correct

Answer 17

ok
