Question

"Find the equation of the line MN that has the given information:"

m= -2, M (4,5)

Answer 1

ok so it passes through point (4,5) and the slope is -2
y - y1 = m (x-x1)
y - 5 = -2 (x-4)
This is point slope form what form do you need it in. you may be able to just leave it like this...

Answer 2

@Amineh0923 ?? you there bruh lol

Answer 3

lol ya im here just trying to make sense of it

Answer 4

ok do I need to explain better?

Answer 5

yes if that's ok

Answer 6

ok so when you are given slope and a point on the graph, the first thing you need to do is put it in point slope form:
y - y1 = m (x-x1)
y1 = the y-value of the coordinate you are given
x1 = the x-value of the coordinate you are given
m = the slope

In this problem
y1 = 5
x1 = 4
m = -2

Just plug it into the formula Can you do that part

Answer 7

Does that make sense?

Answer 8

yes a lot better thank you

Answer 9

Awesome!
