Hi nnesha, it's been a long time :D

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\] slope formula to find slope do you want to graph it ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

heyai thought you're new here..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah xD you always help me :3. would graphing it help?

Nnesha (nnesha):

well we don't need to graph the point direction says find the equatiion

Nnesha (nnesha):

so use slope formula to find slope plugin x and y values \[\large\rm (x_1,y_1)(x_2,y_2)\] \[\large\rm (7,5)(-4,-1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if we have those points on a graph, then what would we do next?

Nnesha (nnesha):

draw line through those two dots (points )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and where in the line would the solution be?

Nnesha (nnesha):

for this question we don't need to graph those points that wouldn't help you to write the equation

Nnesha (nnesha):

just find slope and plugin to the point slope formula which is \[\large\rm y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

btw all points on the line would be the solutin

Nnesha (nnesha):

solution *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5- -1 = M (7- -4) (is it like this or am i way off?)

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\] first plugin (7,5)(-4,1) into the slope formula^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7-5/-4-1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i'm an idiot :p
