PLEASE HELP!!! WILL MEDAL AND FAN!!!

According to your given question, the point slope form is given as: \[y - f(x_1) = m (x - x_1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here, \(m\) is the slope, can you find the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go eta go :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so to find the slope we do y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 right? @eta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you are right Gurl.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay and the ordered pairs will be (-1,2) and (-3,-5) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically the f(x) values are just the y values right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just Fantastic, you are intelligent than me.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go ahead, just do what you know, if wrong, I will tell you and correct you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol thanks, actually to be honest i can't believe i opened this question lol okay one sec =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ha ha ha.., Take your time, I am in no hurry..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well done my boy eta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so the slope is 1.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol Danish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Boy, If you add your age twice, I will be somewhat smaller than that, you can approximate that. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol.ok well done my uncle eta :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure about Slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay so the equation is going to be y - 2 = 1.75 (x - 3) right @eta =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i did it with a calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Doing with calculator does not guarantee that you are right. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol ik let me double check =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get a diff slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[Slope = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-5-2}{-3+1} = ??\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I must get different slope and it is actually different. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea it's 3.5 =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be y - 2 = 3.5 (x - 3) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good.. :) It is okay, you were right in opening up this question, otherwise, you will end up doing it wrong. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you missed it, why are you filling x values of second point and y value of first point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yea i should know this it's just been a lil while so yea =) Thanks so much for the awesome help, just needed a refresher lol =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what, huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose one point only, with only one point, you can write point slope form..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y - f(x_1) = m(x-x_1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea, right sorry lol so it would be y - 2 = 3.5 (x - 1) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only one mistake you have done, if you can find it, you will gain Medal from me, otherwise not. you have two minutes, be quick..!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL okay um, is it the (x+1) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

instead of (x-1) it's a -1 so it should be (x+1) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it is.. I know people can do Ph.D if it is for Medals on OS. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol yea you're probably right lol thanks so much =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All Good now.. Any doubt anywhere?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope thank you so much =)
