Question

OK I have a question I will post the question then the question I have.
Which of the following equations describe the line shown below? (4,4) and (12,6)
A. y - 4 = 4(x - 4)
B. y - 12= 4(x - 6)
C. y - 6 = 1/4(x - 12)
D. y - 4 = 1/4(x - 4)
E. y - 6 = 4(x - 12)
F. y - 12 = 1/4(x - 6)
My question is the slope is 1/4 and I got that figured out... But can i put that into simplier form to just 4? Or no?

Answer 1

hmmm im not sure but lets try to figure it out

Answer 2

ok...

Answer 3

do u realize that all the choices are written in \[y-y1 = m (x-x1) \] form @Tallan

Answer 4

you only choises can be C D F. now do you know how to use point slope form?

Answer 5

yes! I do, @Godlovesme i am not the greatest at these and I kinda just started em lol so im taking it slow.

Answer 6

its alright thats point slope form
m=slope
y1= y-coordinate
x1= x-coordinate
in this case we can either use (4,4) or (12,6)
but lets use (12,6) so far so good? @Tallan

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

great then can u try setting up the equation :)

Answer 9

im quite positive that you cant use 4 bc distribute it to the other numbers and get it into slope intercept form and see if a graph will look like that
