Question

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b, using the given information.
m=3(-1,2)

Answer 1

do u mean m=3?

Answer 2

No it says m=3 (-1,2)

Answer 3

is there space inbetween?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

anyway i think we are supposed to understand that m= 3 and (-1,2) is a point on the line..its obvious why..right?

Answer 6

yeah

Answer 7

That's what I think.

Answer 8

So in y=mx+c put m=3 what do u get..?

Answer 9

y=3x+b

Answer 10

oh here its b sry..and u are right..now they have given the value of x and y as co-ordinates..put them in the eq..what do u get?

Answer 11

m=3 (-1,2)

2 = 3(-1) + b Solve for b

Answer 12

b=5?

Answer 13

yeah! good job!

Answer 14

now what is the full eq?

Answer 15

I'm not sure..y=3x+5?

Answer 16

Yep! u got it!!

Answer 17

Awesome! Thank you both for helping me!

Answer 18

welcome!
