Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line.

1. Through: (-1,-1) and (5,2)

Answer 1

Start by finding the slope use the slope formula
\[\LARGE \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=slope\]

Answer 2

3/6

Answer 3

= 1/2

Answer 4

Good now now we use the slope intercept form
y=mx+b
We know that m=slope
y=1/2x+b
take one of the coordinates given and solve for b

Answer 5

hm, im confused on this part

Answer 6

Ok so pick a coordinate (given in the problem)

Answer 7

(-1,-1)

Answer 8

Ok we take those coordinates and plug them into the equation
-1=1/2(-1)+b
solve for b

Answer 9

Ohhh okay

Answer 10

thanks!

Answer 11

Can you please solve it :) ?

Answer 12

wait I got -1=-1/2+b

Answer 13

Add 1/2 to both sides

Answer 14

-1/2=b ?

Answer 15

Good so you have
y=1/2x-1/2 :P

Answer 16

Ohh okay

Answer 17

now i get it, thanks!

Answer 18

yw ^_^

Answer 19

Could you also help me on this problem.

Through: (-1,2), slope = -6
