Hey! :) What's your question?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

can you help me in convert slope form in to standard form here your the points:(-8,6) (5,6)

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

and here is the answer y-6=0/13(x-5)

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Sure! Let's do this. >:] First we need to find the slope. We can do that using the slope formula \[\frac{ y_2 - y_1 }{ x_2 - x_1} = m\] Let's plug the points into the formula... \[\frac{ 6 - 6 }{ 5 + 8} = m\] What do you get for the slope when you solve that? :)

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

0/13

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Right! Which just equals 0 b/c any fraction with only a 0 in the numerator equals 0. :D Now we need to find the y-intercept. We can do that using one of the points and the known slope in the slope formula and 0 for one of the x's and solve for the other y. :) Like this...|dw:1418861285746:dw| Can you solve that for y? :)
