Complete the equation of the graphed linear function in point-slope form. y – 6 = (x – ) http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1522000_1522500/1522152/2/ea5680084526ed31fb64b49393e78f6738cc10e9/MS_IMC-140829-100654.jpg
@Mehek14
(-6, 6) (-10, -2) \(\dfrac{6 - (-2)}{-6 - (-10)}\)
\(\dfrac{8}{4} = 2\)
\(y = 2x + 6\)
would that be the answer?
the equation
but I don't know how to put it in the form your question is asking
@openstudier101x do u know
yes one sec, I’m typing...
nv i got the answer
First off, the equation for Point Slope form is: \[y-y _{1 }=m(x-x _{1)}\] m is the slope, and \[x _{1}\] and \[y _{1}\] would be the variables of a point. The y coordinate is given as 6, and the point we need is shown so -6 is the x-coordinate.
then find the slope, like @Mehek14 says
it was 2 and -6
the equation for slope is \[y _{2}-y _{1}/x _{2}-x _{1}\]
Put that into point slope form, and it would be: y-6=2(x-(-6)). It is NOT y=2x+6 because that is actually slope-intercept form not point-slope form.
happy studying! :)
