Question

Write the equation of a line in point-slope form.

Picture will be below the question.

Answer 1

gg

Answer 2

Slope is \[\frac{ 8 }{ -8}\]

Answer 3

so -1 right?

Answer 4

For the slope?

Answer 5

yeh

Answer 6

8 - 0 over 0 - 8 = 8/-8 which equals to -1

-1 is the slope :)

Answer 7

You can also determine that a slope is negative, by how it looks. In this case, negative slopes go from the top left to the bottom right

Answer 8

Oh okay. Thanks for the help. :)

Answer 9

since u have the slope use this (y-y1)=m(x1-x)

Answer 10

If you are ever unsure if it is negative or not

Answer 11

where m=slope

Answer 12

gtg , league game started. I think @magepker728 got chu tho ;p

Answer 13

So is it like \[y -0 = -1(x -8)\]

Answer 14

yeap can solve it for y now?

Answer 15

What do mean solve for y?

Answer 16

standard form: y= mx+b

Answer 17

I'm actually writing it in Point-Slope form.

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

if your using point slope form, thee can be 2 answers


(8,0)
y - 0 = -1(x - 8)

or

(0,8)
y - 8 = -1(x - 0)

you can use either one of your set of points
