Alright this is something I know you guys can walk me through right?
Yes Lets start by finding the slope between the two points, do you know how to do that?
I don't remember how, I did find the graph portion though, and I subtracted them both and got 6,4 or 6,5 something like that
Well you are right on subtracting them \((x_1,y_1)\) = first point \((x_2,y_2)\) = second point \(\large \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) --- Graphically you can just look at how many points it went up/down and right/left and simplify the fraction \(\large \frac{rise}{run}\)
If I lose you, let me know and I'll change my explanation xD
xD Sorry I was doing something Let me read it
x and y are the lines on the Axis' right?
8- -2/9-2 right?
\(\sf\Large Slope = \frac{\color{blue}{y_2}-\color{red}{y_1}}{\color{green}{x_2}-\color{purple}{x_1}}\) Where the two points are in the form: \(\sf\Large (\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1})~and~(\color{green}{x_2},\color{blue}{y_2})\)
Maybe the colors will help you get it in the right place? But yes, the x-axis and the y-axis are the two lines in the graph that form like the plus sign |dw:1569710959349:dw|
Let me redo my placement then
4-9/-2 -8
Yes, now simplify It would be better and correct to write it as (4-9)/(-2-8)
okay so do I right it like ?/? or a coordinate ?
-5/-10
That's right but you can simplify more further
Simplify the fraction itself? Like -5 divided by -10?
Yes, both have a common factor The negatives can cancel out
That would be the slope In point-slope form The equation is y-y1 = m(x-x1) Where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope
