<span>Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:</span>

<span>
</span>

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line

(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.

Both are correct. Using either form will result in the same equation. The slope-intercept form uses slope and a point to find the y-intercept. Point-slope form uses the slope and a point to solve for y to generate the equation.

Joaquin has $1,300 in the bank and has investments worth $4,000. He also has $7,000 worth of credit card debt. What is Joaquin's
svetlana [45]
The answer to this question would be: <span>-$1,700

In this question, we can separate the account into positive/debit and negative/credit value. The positive/debit value should be:

Joaquin has $1,300 in the bank
He has $4,000 worth of investment
Total positive value = $1300 + $4000= $5300

The negative value should be 
</span><span>$7,000 worth of credit card debt
</span>Total positive value =$7000
<span>
Then the net worth should be: $5300 - $7000= -$1700</span>
