OpenStudy (helpkay):

could someone PLEASE help with my math

OpenStudy (t-dawg02):

You will probably get more help in the mathematics section. :D

OpenStudy (helpkay):

I tryed for 1/2 an hour

OpenStudy (t-dawg02):

ok what do you need help with then?

OpenStudy (helpkay):

pooja195 (pooja195):

Your answer is correct

OpenStudy (t-dawg02):

Yup your right :D

OpenStudy (helpkay):

but it does not pass thought -1

pooja195 (pooja195):

When 2 negatives are together you get a positive

pooja195 (pooja195):

y-y1=m(x-x1) y-(-1) see the 2 negatives together make a positive

OpenStudy (helpkay):

i know but it you point doesn't pass though -2 -1

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~\bf~y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] let's start off by listing what we know x1=? y1=? m=?

OpenStudy (helpkay):

so -1 -2 5

pooja195 (pooja195):

(x1,y1) what number is in the x1 place? x1=?

OpenStudy (helpkay):

-2

pooja195 (pooja195):

good so x1=-2 y1=-1 m=5 Now use the point slope formula and just plug in those numbers \[\huge~\rm~\bf~y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]

OpenStudy (helpkay):

I don't get it so would you do 1 - -1

pooja195 (pooja195):

No the y remains the same x1=-2 y1=-1 m=5 Now use the point slope formula and just plug in those numbers \[\huge~\rm~\bf~y-(-1)=5(x-(-2))\] When you have two minus signs together they become a positive \[\huge~\rm~\bf~y\color{red}{+1}=5(x-(-2))\] same with the 2 \[\huge~\rm~\bf~y\color{red}{+1}=5(x\color{red}{+}2)\]

OpenStudy (helpkay):

ok I see what you did but it still doesn't cross at -2 -1 it say the line that passes through the point (−2, −1) and has a slope of 5 which I do not see in any of them

OpenStudy (helpkay):

thank for clearing that up I forgot how you did that

OpenStudy (helpkay):

@pooja195 @T-Dawg02

OpenStudy (helpkay):

@Atsie

OpenStudy (helpkay):

PLEASE help @Atsie @jameshorton @Qwertty123

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

With?

OpenStudy (helpkay):

I already know x1=-2 y1=-1 m=5 y−(−1)=5(x−(−2)) y+1=5(x−(−2)) y+1=5(x+2) but it still doesn't cross at -2 -1 it say the line that passes through the point (−2, −1) and has a slope of 5 which I do not see in any of them

OpenStudy (helpkay):

@Qwertty123

OpenStudy (helpkay):

PLEASE help @Qwertty123 I have to go in 10m

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Put the equations.. in here.. https://www.desmos.com/calculator then hoover over the line. It will give you the points.

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

Try desmos.. I got the answer..So I know you can do it.

OpenStudy (helpkay):

i got -2 0

OpenStudy (helpkay):

@Qwertty123

pooja195 (pooja195):

@helpkay you are overthinking the problem. It only wants you to but the coordinate and slope in point slope form

OpenStudy (helpkay):

then why does it say the line that passes through the point (−2, −1) and has a slope of 5 when it doesn't

pooja195 (pooja195):

It wants the equation for it

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

hey try posting your math q in math not os feedback u would get help faster there r some grate math helper there plz close this and have a good day/night :D

OpenStudy (helpkay):

@likeabossssssss I did that 3 times

pooja195 (pooja195):

You have the correct answer and it's great to show that you are interested in understanding the question rather than looking for straight answers. :)

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

try taggin ppl

OpenStudy (helpkay):

no one online i tagged everyone I know

pooja195 (pooja195):

@likeabossssssss the user is already getting help.

likeabossssssss (likeabossssssss):

@mathmale is on he/she is a really good helper

pooja195 (pooja195):

@helpkay Do you understand what I have been teaching you? Do you understand the concept? The question basically is saying to put the given info into point slope form.

OpenStudy (helpkay):

ok but i already got what I needed like @pooja195 I was over looking the question BTW thanks @pooja195 I get what you are saying they need to reword it so other people don't think the same thing I am a thinker I over look stuff all the time sometimes my mom gets mad at me for it lol

pooja195 (pooja195):

You're welcome ^_^ It's great to see someone interested in learning ^_^ :D
