\[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] m=slope (x1,y1)

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

you got me idk what this is

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

i feel stupid

pooja195 (pooja195):

Well its actually nothing besides plugging in the given info .-.

pooja195 (pooja195):

List you info m=? y1=? x1=?

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

can u like write is so i know where evrything goscuz i have another one of these and i would love to get them right

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

so u and i know that y is

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

-5

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

pooja195 (pooja195):

and m is? (m=slope)

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

u got me on m

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

i graduated Yale not Harvard

pooja195 (pooja195):

Doesnt seem like it

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

oh 5/7

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good now using that info plug it into this formula \[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

why is there 2 y there should only be one cuz i only have one

pooja195 (pooja195):

It remains a y .-. its a FORMULA

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

oh

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

so it will be y- -5= 5/7(x-8)

pooja195 (pooja195):

- + - = +

OpenStudy (chancemorris123):

why is ther a +

pooja195 (pooja195):

Are you trolling??
