What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (-2, -5) and (2, 3)

1 answer:

4 0

Point slope
the equaiton of a line passing through the point (x1,y1) and having a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)

and the slope between 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

so
find slope first

(-2,-5)
(2,3)
slope=(-5-3)/(-2-2)=-8/-4=-2/-1=2

m=2

pointn is (2,3) and (-2,-5)

the answer is
y-3=2(x-2) or
y+5=2(x+2)

Because there is no cost for the sweatshirts, there is no way to solve this for the amount of sweatshirts needed. However, the amount of money each student needs to make off of them is $95.

Why would negative numbers not make sense for the values of the variables

Naily [24]

One reason that negative numbers would not make sense for values of the variables is that the solution having a negative value is not valid. It might be that the expression represents a real word problem and a negative value will not make any sense. Hope this helps.
