The point slope form of a line is written as y - y1 = m(x -x1)
Where m is the slope and x1 and y1 are the points on the line.
You are told the slope is 3 and the point is (2,-1/2)
x1 is 2 and y1 is -1/2
Replace those in the equation to get:
y- (-1/2) = 3(x-2)
Simplify to get the final answer:
y + 1/2 = 3(x-2)
Answer:
y=2x
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to first find the slope. Lets get two points and apply the slope formula.
(1,2) and (2,4)
Rise: 2
Run: 4
Slope: 2
Then, lets use the standard way of showing a linear equation.
y=mx+b
y=2x+0
Note the coordinates of each point: R(-4, 5), S(5, 1), T(2, -3).
The centroid is the point whose coordinates are the average of the coordinates of R, S, and T.
<em>x</em>-coordinate: (-4 + 5 + 2)/3 = 3/3 = 1
<em>y</em>-coordinate: (5 + 1 - 3)/3 = 3/3 = 1
So the centroid is (1, 1).
