Question

assistance please

Answer 1

lets start with standard form (y-b) =m(x-a)

Answer 2

how do i do that?

Answer 3

lets find the slope first (y2-y1) /(x2-x1)

Answer 4

4/3-5/3
_________
1/3-(-2/3)

Answer 5

i dont know how to solve this type

Answer 6

yes, so just subtract the top numbers in each of the fractions

Answer 7

i don know how

Answer 8

so ---> (4-5)/3 is your (y) value and (1-2)/3 is your (x) value

Answer 9

how we doing

Answer 10

this is confusing its (4-5)/3? we have to solve first

Answer 11

strange decimal -0.3?

Answer 12

:( don't divide the solution remember that the top is a (y) value and your bottom is a (x) value

Answer 13

this is confusing i dont know this. i never subtracted fractions this way

Answer 14

(-1/3)/(-1/3) = (-1/3, -1/3) ----> (x,y)

Answer 15

show me the solution to the top

Answer 16

i dont know how for that one

Answer 17

top is (4-5)/3

Answer 18

have you ever worked with negative numbers

Answer 19

nope

Answer 20

Oooo. try this webpage to help you catch up in math KhanAcademy.com

Answer 21

i did that
please help me get the answer

Answer 22

my user name is mrc511 I can help you there better because there are an infinite number of problem to try

Answer 23

will this are your x and y values (-1/3, -1/3); since both top and bottom are the same your slope is 1 or m = 1 in y=mx+b, so use y=mx+b to find b by simple inputting a y and x value form the original question

Answer 24

how do i put it into slope intercept form

Answer 25

slope intercept is y = mx + b; so 5/3 = 1(-2/3) +b ---> find b

Answer 26

5/3 + 2/3 = b

Answer 27

then you can check your answer by inputting your other set of points in and you should get the same (b) value

Answer 28

isnt that 7/3?

Answer 29

how do i put it into the form of y=mx+b i found b

Answer 30

input your slope which is m and then input your b value so y =1x +(your b value)

Answer 31

y=1x+7/3?

Answer 32

yes :)

Answer 33

its not correct according to the homework

Answer 34

you only answers question a right

Answer 35

:(((

Answer 36

I found the issue hold on

Answer 37

one more chance or it will switch to a nther one

Answer 38

your slope should be -1/3 because (1-(-2)) =3

Answer 39

so lets rework the slope and proof

Answer 40

y = -1/3x + 4/3, for the first point; now lets proof that the equation is correct by input the second point and solving for b

Answer 41

how do i do that

Answer 42

4/3 = -1/3(1/3) +b

Answer 43

my calc wont allow this entry it comes as a weird decimal

Answer 44

b = 13/9 but try it without your calculator

Answer 45

4/3 = -1/9 + b

Answer 46

i get 1.4 even without calc

Answer 47

don't solve final fraction you don't have to

Answer 48

wouldnt it be y=1.4x+1/3 or ??

Answer 49

if you solve the fraction you'd get a repeating 1.4444444444444

Answer 50

no, 13/9 is your b value and -1/3 is your m value

Answer 51

y = -1/3x + 13/9 , where did you get a positive 1/3?

Answer 52

lemme enter that remember it says final check so if i blow it it iwill change

Answer 53

if theres any change let me know now before i enter @latinC

Answer 54

is this the correct answer, i have one chance i cant blow it

Answer 55

yes,

Answer 56

its asking for standard for so what would it be in standard form

Answer 57

standard form is (y-b) = m(x-a) ; m = your slope

Answer 58

so 13/9 would be m(-1/3-a)?? i dont know how to note in st form standard

Answer 59

sorry standard form is Ax+By = C

Answer 60

so lets start with y =mx +b or y = -1/3x + 13/9

Answer 61

now lets multiply (3)y = (-1/3x +13/9)(3)

Answer 62

3y= i dont know the rest

Answer 63

yes, 3y = (-3/3x + 39/9)

Answer 64

now lets multiply again (9)3y = (-1x + 39/9)(9)

Answer 65

27y = -9x + 39

Answer 66

is that in standard form?

Answer 67

no, remember Ax+By = C

Answer 68

-9x+27y=39

Answer 69

no

Answer 70

almost

Answer 71

how then?

Answer 72

27y =-9x+39, since we want the -9x on the other side we need to add 9x to both sides. remember that algebra is all about balance

Answer 73

u mean 9x to 27y and 39??

Answer 74

9x +27y = -9x +9x +39, solve this

Answer 75

hmm i get 9x+27y=39??

Answer 76

standard form is Ax+By = C

Answer 77

idk :(

Answer 78

yes you had it right 9x+27y =39

Answer 79

im afraid if i enter it will be wrong

Answer 80

check it ,

Answer 81

by reversing the processes

Answer 82

its says wrong still i have one more chance now

Answer 83

27y = -9x +39 ---> y = -9/27x + 39/27---> y = -1/3x +13/9

Answer 84

9x+27y =39

Standard form means Ax+By=C but simplified. These are all multiples of 3

Answer 85

it says thats wrong grrrrr

Answer 86

he means divide everything by 3

Answer 87

x+3y=4??? or as i got 3x+9y=12?? which one

Answer 88

9x+27y = 39 -----> 3x +9y = 13

Answer 89

do i need to do anything more?

Answer 90

can't

Answer 91

i guess thats it then lemme enter it and see

Answer 92

its correct thank you both :)

Answer 93

yea thanks agentOsmith
