Which equation represents this line in point-slope form? (y+4)=43(x+3) (y−4)=−43(x+3) y=−34x 4y−3x=0

We need to ind the slope using the 2 points given \[\LARGE \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

pooja195 (pooja195):

Can you go ahead and figure out the slope? : )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope being -8/6?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Where did you get -8 from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[slope = -\frac{ 8 }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The fraction is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rise over Run correct? So you go left 6 times and up 8, and because of that positioning of the line the slope would be negative right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh waiittt

pooja195 (pooja195):

My apologies you are correct :) sorry Ok simplyfy that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dont correct me ive seen my mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I looked at the answers and confused myself, the slope I thought out is not on there. so the second idea would be \[-\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yes thats the simplified version Are you allowed to have 2 answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore, The answer should be b. I used the process of elimination and knocked out those that made no sense to my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and no I was just dumb and used one that wasnt on here lol. THanks for your help

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct :) and you are not dumb! It takes guts to admit you made a mistake people like you actually wanna learn! And thats a good thing!!! :D
