Which equations are equations for the line shown? Choose all answers that are correct. @jojo4eva http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1511000_1511500/1511271/1/4970b680978becf8435036eaf03e351e7db38994/MS_IMC-140804-180201.jpg

OpenStudy (jojo4eva):

ok give em to me

OpenStudy (igreen):

??? It says 'Which equations are equations for the line shown?'. That doesn't make any sense.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Oh, nevermind..it's asking what equations match the line?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Well first we can find the slope. It already gives us (-3, 1) and (3, 4). Plug them in the formula: \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) \(m = \dfrac{4-1}{3+3}\) Add & Subtract: \(m = \dfrac{3}{6}\) Divide: \(m = 0.5~or~\dfrac{1}{2}\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Do you know what the y-intercept of the line is? @LOLAri

OpenStudy (igreen):

The y-intercept is where the line crosses at the y-axis.

OpenStudy (igreen):

So the y-intercept here is..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. y-3=-1/2(x-4) B. y-4= 1/2(x-3) C.y-3= 1/2(x+1) D. 4-1= 1/2(x+3)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Oh, I already told you that the slope was 1/2. Those equations are in the form of: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) Where \(y_1\) is the y-value. Where \(x_1\) is the x-value. Where \(m\) is the slope. They gave you two points: (-3, 1) and (3, 4) They're both in the form of (x-value, y-value) And the slope is 1/2, so what's your answer gonna be? @LOL

i think C @iGreen
