Question

Write the equation of a line that passes through the points ( -2, 5) and (-2, 11).

Answer 1

first step is to find the slope:
\[\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\]

Answer 2

\[\frac{11-5}{-2-2}=-\frac{3}{2}\]
now you can write the equation for the line with this:
\[y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\] this is were m is the slope.

Answer 3

\[y-(5)=(-\frac{3}{2})(x-(-2))\]

Answer 4

Wrong

Answer 5

m=11-5/-2-(-2)=6/0

Answer 6

Answer 7

yes definitely wrong but the set up is right. let me correct that.

Answer 8

yep

Answer 9

\[\frac{11-5}{-2-(-2)}=\frac{6}{0}\]
then the line should be straight up and down because the slope is undefined.
