@mathstudent55 Is this correct?

OpenStudy (dayakar):

equation of the line whose slope m= -2 and passing the point (x1, y1) = (8 ,12) is in the form y-y1 = m (x - x1) can u plug above values and get the equation

OpenStudy (marihelenh):

\[(y-y _{1})=m(x-x _{1})\]

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

y-12 = -2(x-8)

OpenStudy (dayakar):

very good

OpenStudy (dayakar):

write it in the form y = mx +c

OpenStudy (dayakar):

r u doing

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

It's Slope-Intercept Form .-.

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

y=mx + b

OpenStudy (dayakar):

yes ,ur answer should be like this form

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Is the answer I wrote correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (dayakar):

y-12 =-2x +16 y = -2x +16+12 y= -2x +28

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Oh ok .-.

OpenStudy (dayakar):

):

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Why did you add?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

@dayakar Why did you add?

pooja195 (pooja195):

That's not right....

pooja195 (pooja195):

y=mx+b slope is given y=-2x+b to find b we must plug in the 2 given numbers in the coordinates in the right spot (x,y) 12=-2(8)+b solve from here

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

12=-16+b? @pooja195

pooja195 (pooja195):

ok continue

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

-28?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

How do I continue on from there?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

@pooja195 ?

pooja195 (pooja195):

12+16=?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

28

pooja195 (pooja195):

good so b=?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

28?
