Question

someone please explain!

Answer 1

\[slope=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 2

the slope is -1/2

Answer 3

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({\color{red}{ 3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 1}})\quad
% (c,d)
&({\color{red}{ 7}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -1}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\
% slope = m
slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies
\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}}{{\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}}}\)

Answer 4

so the slope is -1/2?

Answer 5

well one sec

Answer 6

okay

Answer 7

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({\color{red}{ 3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 1}})\quad
% (c,d)
&({\color{red}{ 7}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -1}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\
% slope = m
slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies
\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ -1}}-{\color{blue}{ 1}}}{{\color{red}{ 7}}-{\color{red}{ 3}}}\implies \cfrac{-\cancel{2}}{\cancel{4}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}\)

Answer 8

okay what do i do next

Answer 9

now to fine the equation
grab that slope and uset it in the point-slope form

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({\color{red}{ 3}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 1}})\quad
% (c,d)
&({\color{red}{ 7}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -1}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\
% slope = m
slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies
\cfrac{{\color{blue}{ -1}}-{\color{blue}{ 1}}}{{\color{red}{ 7}}-{\color{red}{ 3}}}\implies \cfrac{-\cancel{2}}{\cancel{4}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}
\\ \quad \\
% point-slope intercept
y-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}={\color{green}{ m}}(x-{\color{red}{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values}\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}\)

Answer 10

so y-y1=-1/2(x-x1)

Answer 11

or \(\bf y-{\color{blue}{ 1}}={\color{green}{ -\cfrac{1}{2}}}(x-{\color{red}{ 3}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values}\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}\)

Answer 12

y=-.5x+2.5
