Question

Write the equation of the line, in point-slope form, that contains the points (-2, -2) and (2, 2).

Answer 1

@Bookworm14

Answer 2

did you find the slope?

Answer 3

0

Answer 4

lol no

Answer 5

lol yeah

Answer 6

it is \((-2,-2),(2,2)\) right ?

Answer 7

Mhm

Answer 8

from -2 to 2 is right 4, and from -2 to 2 is up four
right four, up four slope is \(\frac{4}{4}=0\)

Answer 9

actually it is \[\frac{4}{4}=1\] not zero

Answer 10

also notice that in both coordinates the x and the y are the same

Answer 11

And?

Answer 12

this tells you the equation is \(y=x\)

Answer 13

Okay, I still need the entire equation.

Answer 14

to find slope you must use the formula \[m = \frac{ y2-y1 }{x2-x1 }\]

so for this it would be 2- (-2) / 2- (-2)

equaling 4/4 or 1

point-slope is in the form of

y-y1 = m(x-x1)
so for this just substitute your points
y- (-2)= 1 (x-x1)
now distribute on the "x" side

y+2=1x+2
subtract 2 from both sides

y=1x or just y=x

Answer 15

is there something not entire in \(\huge y=x\)?
