Answer 1

For this, use the two point formula
\(y - y_1 = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1)\)

Answer 2

It's the same as the point slope formula, except \(m\) is replaced with its fraction form given two points.

Answer 3

cant we just find the slope and put it in the formula y=mx+b?

Answer 4

That's what we're doing. This is the fastest way to do it.

Answer 5

oh okay my bad

Answer 6

All you have to do is just plug in all the correct values. You need to decide what you want for your \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) values.

Answer 7

slope:
4-4/5-2=0/3

y=0/3x+(not sure what b is)

Answer 8

You should use the drawing tool for this

Answer 9

is that correct^^?

Answer 10

Nope, because you need to use the drawing tool since you are not familiar with LaTeX

Answer 11

You don't understand how to use parentheses well either so you have to either use the drawing tool or LaTeX

Answer 12

im quite confused with this problem can u help me pls

Answer 13

Click the writing tool and replace the variables with numbers

Answer 14

Correct.

Answer 15

Oh thats it?

Answer 16

There's an easy way to simplify this and there is a hard way to do it. Nope you're not done.

Answer 17

Continue simplifying

Answer 18

First simplify the fraction

Answer 19

0/3

Answer 20

y-4=0/3(x-2)

Answer 21

Continue using the drawing tool

Answer 22

Okay next continue simplifying the fraction. 0/3 = ? (Use the drawing tool)

Answer 23

Very good. Now, for the next step, what is the product of zero and any number?

Answer 24

zero? lol

Answer 25

Correct.

Answer 26

So write the next step using the drawing tool

Answer 27

Very good. Now all you have to do is add 4 to both sides and you're done.

Answer 28

you mean y+4 and 0+4?

Answer 29

Nope not exactly. Use the drawing tool to perform the step I suggested.

Answer 30

Correct

Answer 31

and do I have to add all this in my answer?

Answer 32

Depends on what your teacher wants. But those are all the steps, so if he or she requested for you to include all steps, then YES you have to provide all the steps. If they only want the answer, then provide only the answer.

Answer 33

and isnt the answer the equation we got which was y-4=0/3(x-2)?

Answer 34

The answer is what we already agreed to that has the form \(y = a\) with \(a\) being a real number.

Answer 35

y - 4 = (0/3)(x - 2) is not in complete simplified form.

Answer 36

no I mean the equation before it getting simplified. what would that be?

Answer 37

Remember, the point slope form is \(y = mx + b\)

Answer 38

Since we found that \(m = 0\) the \(mx\) simplifies to \(0\)

Answer 39

Leaving just \(y = b\)

Answer 40

Get it?

Answer 41

oh okay so it would be y=b

Answer 42

y=4*

Answer 43

Correct
