@bibby @KamiBug
OpenStudy (bibby):
what does a line in point slope form look like?
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
a sraigt line
OpenStudy (bibby):
what does the equation look like*
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
y=mx+b

OpenStudy (bibby):
\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)
where m is the slope and \((x_1, y_1)\) is the point we want the line to pass through
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
so would my equation look like this? y-6=3/4(x-2)
OpenStudy (bibby):
close. \(y--6=-\frac{3}{4}(x-2)\)
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
oh I forgot the - sight thank you can you help me with like 4 more?
OpenStudy (bibby):
maybe

theres nothing that says y--6=-3/4(x-2) in the answers
OpenStudy (bibby):
distribute the -3/4 a nd then simplify it until it's in y=mx+b form
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
ok thanks
OpenStudy (bibby):
let me know what you get so I can check your work
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
I got y-6=-3/4(x+2)

you didn't change anything
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
im really confused
OpenStudy (bibby):
distribute the -3/4 into the parentheses
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
ok hold on
OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):
y-6=(-3/4)-x+2 that dosnt seem right to me
