Answer 2

so y1 - y2=m(Xand X2) right? so plug your numbers in

Answer 3

do u know how to do that?

Answer 4

yes i think so

Answer 5

ok y don't u write the equation then type it

Answer 6

is it y= -1/2 ?

Answer 7

\[\huge y-\color{red}{y_1}=\color{blue}m(x-\color{green}{x_1})\]

Answer 8

\[\color{blue}m=\color{blue}{-\frac{1}{2}}\]

Answer 9

Y1=-3

Answer 10

\[\color{green}{x_1}=\color{green}5\]

Answer 11

\[\color{red}{y_1}=\color{red}{-3}\]

Answer 12

okay so y--3 =-1/2 (x-5?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

thank you :)
