Question

Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point.
m= -5, (4,9)

Answer 1

Use the point slope formula
R u familiar with that :)

Answer 2

Yes its just been a while

Answer 3

K y-y1= m(x-x1)
M is ur slope
Y1 ur given y coordinate
X1 given x coordinate
Can u plug those to the eqn

Answer 4

yeah I know that one

Answer 5

just have to use point slope formula

Answer 6

sheesh I suck, better move to english for now, will confuse no more

Answer 7

I will try

Answer 8

(4,9) slope=-5
y-coordinate=9
x-coordinate=4
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 9

what answer did you get so I can compare

Answer 10

y-9=-5(x-4)
y-9=-5x+20
y=-5x+29 u?

Answer 11

y=-5x-49

Answer 12

how did u get -49

Answer 13

y -4 = -5x -45

Answer 14

how did u set up ur equation

Answer 15

y - 4 -5(x + 9)

Answer 16

k distribute -5 and dont forget =

Answer 17

Alright

Answer 18

im sorry u r right @Bigtim10

Answer 19

no problem

Answer 20

Thanks for your help though

Answer 21

wait

Answer 22

ok

Answer 23

So, may I recommend @Bigtim10, state point-slope form to begin

Answer 24

(4,9) slope=-5
y-9= -5(x-4) thats how it was supposed to be like =0

Answer 25

no

Answer 26

who is the no directed at?

Answer 27

y - 4 = -5(x - 9)

Answer 28

y-y1= m(x-x1)
y-9= -5(x-4) @Bigtim10

Answer 29

so, that is why you should type out the formula first bigtim

Answer 30

you have a small error, \[y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\]

Answer 31

you switched the x-not and y-not

Answer 32

I remember from when I did early in the class

Answer 33

but I think you can do this, in fact I'm sure you can, so give it a try for us. Show us until you get stuck, then we can give you hints

Answer 34

@Bigtim10 sorry for the confusion >.<

Answer 35

no problem. Thanks

Answer 36

anytime :)
