Question

i need help please!!!!!!!!!!!
find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given points
slope:-6; through:(6,-7)

Answer 1

y-y1=m(x-x1)
m=slope
(x1,y1)

Answer 2

i just need help knowing how to set it up

Answer 3

ok
m=slope (in the eqaution) so just plug in the number given for slope into the place of m

Answer 4

Get it?

Answer 5

let me try to set t up myself

Answer 6

ok :)

Answer 7

y+7=-6x+36?

Answer 8

Thats right

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

Do you get it though ?

Answer 11

y=-6x+29

Answer 12

Good :)
y+7=-6(x-6)
y+7=-6x+36
y=-6x+29
yep thats correct good work :)

Answer 13

cool, thanks

Answer 14

what if the slope is a fraction?

Answer 15

Still the same :)
say your problem was slope =1/7 (6,5)
y-5=1/7(x-6)

Answer 16

The way you plug things in will remain the same

Answer 17

okay thanks so much

Answer 18

:)
