MEDAL!! PLEASE HELP

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

where you substitute the 2 in place of x and will result for y the value of -6

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Hint* Point slope form: \(\large (y-y_1) = m(x -x_1)\) Where your point is \(\large (x_1 , y_1)\) and your slope is \(\large m\)

OpenStudy (fuzzyball):

I think B?? based on what you told me

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Not quite If I place the point and the slope into the form, I would arrive at \(\large (y - (-6)) = -\frac{3}{4}(x - 2)\) Just 1 little simplification here would lead you to your correct result

OpenStudy (fuzzyball):

I do not understand....I dont have a choice that has that...

OpenStudy (fuzzyball):

with a negative 3/4 that also has (x-2) its plus

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right, because you still have 1 more step...you need to simplify something BIG HINT* \(\large \color \red{(y - (-6))}=-\frac{3}{4}(x-2)\) What can you do with the red part??

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Also, you DO have 1 choice with both a \(\large -\frac{3}{4}\) and a \(\large (x-2)\) :)

OpenStudy (fuzzyball):

oh...so would it be...y+6= -3/4(x-2)??

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

There we go!

OpenStudy (fuzzyball):

Thanks soooo much!
