Question

write an equation for each line.
slop= -1; through (-3,5)

Answer 1

m = slope
(x1,y1) = your point

equation: y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Answer 2

I don't understand?

Answer 3

read your problem again

Answer 4

m = slope = ?

Answer 5

so m=-1?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

(x1,y1) = the point given in the problem

x1 = ?
y1 = ?

Answer 8

x=-1 y=(-3,5
?

Answer 9

x1 = ?
y1 = ?

Answer 10

x1 = -3
y1 = 5

Answer 11

good. now we have

m = -1
x1 = -3
y1 = 5

now plug in y1, x1, and m into the equation

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

and tell me what you get

Answer 12

y-5=-1(X-3) ??

Answer 13

im sorry, Im not good at math at all.

Answer 14

almost

x - x1 = x - (-3) = ?

Answer 15

i still don't know lol
