PLEASE HELP What is the equation of the graphed line? Hint: Determine the slope of the line. y = x Graph of a line passing through the origin and Quadrants II and IV. Line passes through (1, -5). @jim_thompson5910 i will attach photo

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

What two points lie on this line?

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

+6 and -6??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

points are ordered pairs

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

of the form (x,y)

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

oh haha sorry..

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

so 6,1 and -6,1?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

see attached

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you see the points I marked?

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

oh, okay thank you

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

so.. (1,-5)..

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's one point on it, yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use those two points to compute the slope

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

so is the other one (1,5) ???

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

I'm out of it

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

sorry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm sorry i truly don't understand

OpenStudy (kaloemalia):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

on my attachment
