My points are (0,5) (2,3) 3.Take the points you have selected and write the equation of the line using the slope-intercept formula. Show the work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 5 - x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you show work also?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 5 - x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Show the work please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sry for the mulit replies internet sucks gimmie a sec and ill solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find slope intercept you need to: 1) find the slope of a line and 2) find the y-intercept of a line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope was -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find slope by doing y2-y1/x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if its -1 then find y intercept by substituting either set of points in formula y=-1x+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y as y, x as x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how would i do it? which point do i use for x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since i have to points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,5). y=mx+b or 5=-1 × 0+b, or solving for b: b=5-(-1)(0). b=5. (2,3). y=mx+b or 3=-1 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=3-(-1)(2). b=5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no know you know what b and m are so plug it into the original formula y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what number do i use for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no number just plug in m and b, y and x stays as is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see, thanks for clarifying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y= -3x +5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not -3, what did we say slope was?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3 i thought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) no prob

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= -1x +5 or y=-x+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they're the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you very much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my pleasure
