If its very simple you should be able to do it correct lol ;) jk jk whatcha need lemme see hmm

anonymous · Answer

i know it is such a simple problem i am just having a moment where i forget everything hahah

anonymous · Answer

yes you need to find the slope first

anonymous · Answer

(18,70) (24,100) and put that into y2-y1/x2-x1?

anonymous · Answer

which gives us 30/6=5

chosenmatt · Answer

what do you think ;)

anonymous · Answer

which is why im having issues because none of the answer choices give 5 as a slope so it must be the opposite coordinates

anonymous · Answer

but why do the coordinates have to be opposite? is there a rule when making the coordinate pairs?

anonymous · Answer

@chosenmatt im looking for help hah whats easy to you isnt always easy for everyone else.

chosenmatt · Answer

i never said it was easy 2 me....i said what do you think so i can help you from there....?.....

chosenmatt · Answer

what are you confuse with?

anonymous · Answer

okay well i have solved the problem and have not gotten one of the answer choices. i found the slope and then took the point slope formula and plugged it into that and i got y=1/5x+32
