Question

what is the equation of the line through (5,1) with a slope of -3
A.y+1=3(x+5)
B.y-1=3(x-5)
C.y-1=-3(x-5)
D.y+1=-3(x-5)
ok so i got c is that the correct answer if not then what is

Answer 1

Do you know how you got that answer?

Answer 2

not rely im confuzzled

Answer 3

The answers are in point slope form
trying converting them into point slope form

Answer 4

how?

Answer 5

I said that wrong i'm sorry try converting them into slope intercept form

Answer 6

Point slope form is
y-y1= m(x-x1)
Slope intercept form is
y=mx+b

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

Do you know how?

Answer 9

umm no

Answer 10

This video might help it's been so long since I did algebra last year

Answer 11

k

Answer 12

so u know the answer

Answer 13

You need to solve it first and tell me what you got so I can help

Answer 14

I already got a warning earlier today I don't need another one

Answer 15

yea i did i hav solved it and i got c

Answer 16

is it right?

Answer 17

/??

Answer 18

hold on

Answer 19

the slope of a line will be the same for any 2 points on that line.
slope is the change in y / corresponding change in x
sometimes referred to as rise/run

Answer 20

yup it's good

Answer 21

nice so i got it right YAY
