Point Slope Form of a Line: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Slope Formula:

   y₂ - y₁          4 - (-1)          5                             The slope is 5/6.
------------- = -------------- = ------
   x₂ - x₁          8 - 2              6

(2, -1) & (8,4) 
 x₁  y₁     x₂  y₂

Using all of the information above...
 
              
y + 1 = 5/6(x - 2) is your equation in point slope form.


Steps for rewriting this equation in standard form: 

Standard Form of a linear equation: ax + by = c 

1). Put the equation from PS form into Slope Intercept Form, which is y=mx+b

y + 1 = 5/6(x - 2)
 y + 1 = 5/6x - 5/3
    - 1               - 1
 ------------------------
 y = 5/6x - 8/3

2). Put the equation from Slope Intercept Form into Standard Form.

                     y  =   5/6x    - 8/3 
               - 5/6x    - 5/6x
            ______________________
              (-1) -5/6x + y(-1) = -8/3(-1)
           
                    5/6x - y = 8/3

The equation in standard form is 5/6x - y = 8/3.

I hope this helps you!

Determine the common difference for each arihmetic sequence 1,5,9,13
Zolol [24]
The common difference is 4. If you look at the numbers 1 and 5, there is a difference of 4. If you look at 5 and 9, there is also a difference of 4. If you look at 9 and 13, there is a difference of 4. Therefore, in this arithmetic sequence, the common difference is 4.

Diane goes to pay for her car parking. She arrived at the car park at 2.15pm and leaves at 4.45pm on Thursday.how much does Dian
Bingel [31]

4.45 pm - 2.15 pm = 2.30

Her car was parked for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

We need the correct rate for that amount of time.

We see this: 2-4 hours £4.50

2 hours and 30 minutes is between 2 hours and 4 hours, so she pays £4.50.

Answer: £4.50
