Write the slope-intercept equation of the line that has the same slope as y-3=1/2(x+3) and contains the point (8,4). Explain how you wrote the equation.

Question

markchernioglo · Answer

I know I use y=mx+b

daniellelovee · Answer

replace the x with 8 and the y with 4

markchernioglo · Answer

Oh so 4-3=1/2(8+3) ?

daniellelovee · Answer

yup

Thanks, but look at the answer they give..

daniellelovee · Answer

you already have the slope which is 1/2

markchernioglo · Answer

Well how they got the 9/2

markchernioglo · Answer

I tried to understand but nope I can't lol

daniellelovee · Answer

ok I'm going to do it the way I would do it and maybe that is easier for you to understand

markchernioglo · Answer

Alright. The outcome is still y=1/2x?

did you understand?

markchernioglo · Answer

yea makes sense the way you did it!

daniellelovee · Answer

alright great! any other questions?

markchernioglo · Answer

I think they want me to use the formula y=mx+b, but thank you very much!

I got no other questions atm. :)

daniellelovee · Answer

yes they want you to change from point slope intercept formula into slope intercept formula
