Question

Please verify my answer. I will attach the problem below. Thank you!!!!

Answer 1

Well can you to me how you did it?

Answer 2

I don't understand graphs so honestly I guessed.

Answer 3

hmm really well I can help explain to you how to do it so you understand it for the next question

Answer 4

yes please

Answer 5

So you start with this Y-Y1 = M(X-X1) equation

Answer 6

So the M=slope

Answer 7

and do you know what the formula for slope is?

Answer 8

Y is 6 ??

Answer 9

lets just go with the formula for slope

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

that is M = Y2-Y1/X2-X1

Answer 12

So your two points are (-5,1) and (0,6)

Answer 13

okay

Answer 14

So your formula would be M = 6 - 1/0-(-5) do you know what that equals?

Answer 15

-1 ???

Answer 16

no positive 1 because when ever you have something minus a negative it becomes a plus so it would be +5 mean it would be 5/5 which equals 1

Answer 17

oh ok

Answer 18

so now we take our slope which is 5/5 and one of our points so I would choose 0,6 because it doenst have any negatives in it so it will be easier

Answer 19

So our line equation will look like this Y-6 = 5/5 (X-0)

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

now we multiply by 5

Answer 22

so that would be 5Y-30 = 5X

Answer 23

Oh whoops I am sorry I have to go right now but basically I will give you this link and yes your answer is right I have done it before :) sorry I couldnt stay to explain

Answer 24

ok thank you!
