anyone?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Slope-intercept form is \(\sf y=mx+b\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So first find the slope using the equation \(\sf\LARGE Slope= \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) Where the points are \(\sf (x_1,y_1) , (x_2,y_2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we put (3,1) in the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do next..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm, I got -1

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\sf (x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)\) \(\sf ~~(3,1), ~~ (2,9)\) So \(\sf x_1 =3\\ y_1 = 1 \\x_2=2 \\ y_2 =9\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

and you plug it in and get a value for the slope

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

And then you will have a value for m and then you plug in a point both x and y calues and solve for b
