Which equations are equations for the line shown? Choose all answers that are correct. A. y-4=-1/3 (x+2) B. y+2=2(x-5) C. y-1=1/3(x-5) D. y+2=1/3(x+4)

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

can you help me @iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure, so let me ask you, what does an equation of a line look like?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

sorry about that here is the equation line look like; http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1511000_1511500/1511273/1/8cb79430986ea09dc1933c14b634c7da7ba42cf8/MS_IMC-140804-180203.jpg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the question?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

Which equations are equations for the line shown? Choose all answers that are correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We have to find equation of a line for that? If so the question makes much more sense.

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you restate your question please.

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

Which equations are equations for the line shown? @iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the graph you showed is what we're using to find the equation right? Because they're all equation of the lines.

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so there all equation lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're not answering my question, the graph you provided IS that part of the question?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

yes

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

yes it is part of the question @iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so to find the equation of a line, the "formula" looks as such \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\] you're given two points (-4,-2) and (5,1) so you can pick the first point to plug into the formula, try that now and see what you get.

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

it gives me b and d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure about b?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

sorry i mean A @iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mhm you were on the right track before, try both points you should get 2 answers.

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so its d and c @iambatman

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so is it d and c @AriPotta

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so em i right @AriPotta

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes, c and d

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

thx so so much i really appreciate @AriPotta

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no problemo :)
