Question

write the equation that describes the line in slope intercept form. slope=4 point (3,-2)

Answer 1

well, we can start with the equation

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m = slope and (x1,y1) is the point (3,-2)

plug in your numbers and tell me what you get

Answer 2

-2-3=4x

Answer 3

Answer 4

uh, not quite

(x1,y1) = (3,-2)

means x1 = 3 and y1 = -2, and we leave x and y alone, giving us:

y+2 = 4(x-3)

with me so far?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

now we convert this to slope intercept form (y = mx + b)

y+2 = 4(x-3)

start by distributing the 4

y + 2 = 8x - 12

know how to finish from here?

Answer 7

no @Vocaloid

Answer 8

isolate y

subtract 2 from each side

Answer 9

y=8x-10

Answer 10

is the answer -5/4

Answer 11

nope

-12 - 2 = ?

Answer 12

oo my bad -14

Answer 13

so your final answer is y = 8x - 14

you are not supposed to solve for y in this scenario

Answer 14

ooo ok thank you so much :)
