Question

When writing linear equations ,how do you determine which form of line to use ???

Answer 1

i beleive itll ask you for one form or another, otherwise you use whatever form fits your fancy.

Answer 2

if you are given particular parts to play with, then each form has its benefits:

a point and a slope can be used to construct the point slope format

a slope and a y intercept can be used to form the slope intercept form

the x and y intercepts can be use to form the intercept form

etc ...

Answer 3

@SelenaD Do you have a particular problem about lines that you'd like to solve?

If so, post it and we can see which form you might want to use.

Answer 4

On okay

Answer 5

Do you want to post the problem here now?

Answer 6

Write an eequation in point slope form for the that passes through (5,1),(-3,4). The use the same point to write the same equation in standers form and again in slope intercept form .show all steps. Someone please explain this one to me ? Would be awesome=)

Answer 7

That is the problem?

Answer 8

We need the slope of the line passing through (5,1) ,(-3,4).

Do you know how to get the slope?

Answer 9

Attached is the slope formula.

Answer 10

Using these points, will you find the slope?

(5,1) ,(-3,4).

Answer 11

Yes

Answer 12

Can you find the slope between the points (5,1) ,(-3,4).

If so, what is it?

Answer 13

I don't know
