Hey guys urgently need help! I promise to reward :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which equation in point slope form passes through the points (4,5) and (-3,-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+3=7/6(x+1) y+1=6/5(x+3) y-1=6/7(x-3) y+1=6/7(x+3)

OpenStudy (boldjon):

not b

OpenStudy (boldjon):

not a

pooja195 (pooja195):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so take these points?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

god, so many otakus on here

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct and plug them into the slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Having the slope identified will help you to eliminate the incorrect answers.

OpenStudy (boldjon):

true that

OpenStudy (jskhupmang):

nice pooja

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4-5/-3-(-1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -1/-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i do that right?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

um....

OpenStudy (boldjon):

(ಠ_ಠ)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad

OpenStudy (boldjon):

yeah otaku got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i put -1 insteas of -4

pooja195 (pooja195):

Hmm not quite \[\huge~\rm~ \bf~- 1-5/-3-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6 and -7?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct the slope can be made positive though because it contains 2 negatives. So:6/7

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] where m=slope (x1,y1)

OpenStudy (boldjon):

SLOPE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what is the y intercept tho?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wai twait i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats my formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-1=6/7=(x-3)

pooja195 (pooja195):

When you have 2 negatives signs together they become positive. Try again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+1=6/7(x+3)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Perfect :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ty

pooja195 (pooja195):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

already a fan from b4 :)
