Question

Can someone please help me? I don't know how to do it, and I would really like it if someone could show me the steps on how to answer it.
. Find the slope-intercept form of the equation that goes through these two points.
(1,20) and (8,4.5)

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

you have to find the slope first

Answer 3

\[m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\] put \[x_1=1,x+2=8,y_1=20,y_2=4.5\] and compute that fraction

Answer 4

ooops i means \(x_2=8\)

Answer 5

so x2=8 not x+2=8?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

you should have \[\frac{4.5-20}{8-1}\]

Answer 8

ok awesome, sorry if I don't reply fast but I'm writing down the steps

Answer 9

may I ask what comes next?

Answer 10

Just simplify what she gave you.

Answer 11

\(\sf \dfrac{4.5-20}{8-1}\)

Answer 12

-15.5
7
or
15.5
7?

Answer 13

keep the 4.5 - 20 = on the top

Answer 14

8 -1 = on the bottom

Answer 15

The first one is correct.

Answer 16

4.5 - 20 will give you a negative number, not a positive.

Answer 17

cause u subtract smaller to larger

Answer 18

ok then do I divide -15.5 by 7?

Answer 19

Answer 20

-15.5/7=
-2.21428571429?
