@busta34 :)

Answer 2

Do you know what the slope-intercept form is?

Answer 3

And do you know how to calculate the slope? :)

Answer 4

solve for y:\[\frac{y-4}{x-3}=\frac{y-16}{x-5}\]

Answer 5

Hmm, couldn't we just calculate the slope since we are given the two points. And then plug in the slope into the slope-intercept format and then plug in a point (any of the two points) and calculate the y-intercept?

Answer 6

we could if we wanted a boring way :)

Answer 7

why bother doing parts and trying to keep track of them ... thats just barbaric ... the new math is sleek, impressive, and itll wow your friends and teachers.

Answer 8

Haha :)

Answer 9

I don't really understand what the question was asking.. about slope intercept form

Answer 10

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

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

Answer 11

\[\frac{y-4}{x-3}=\frac{y-16}{x-5}\]
\[\frac{x-5}{x-3}=\frac{y-16}{y-4}\]
\[\frac{x-3-2}{x-3}=\frac{y-4-12}{y-4}\]
\[1-\frac{2}{x-3}=1-\frac{12}{y-4}\]
\[\frac{1}{x-3}=\frac{6}{y-4}\]
\[y-4=6(x-3)\]
etc ...

Answer 12

oy the lag .....

Answer 13

much prefer slope intersect method
