First, we find the slope
(4,0)(0,-3)
slope = (-3 - 0) / (0 - 4) = -3/-4 = 3/4
there can be 3 possible answers for this..
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 3/4
using points (4,0)...x1 = 4 and y1 = 0
now we sub
y - 0 = 3/4(x - 4) <== this is one answer
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 3/4
using points (0,-3)...x1 = 0 and y1 = -3
now we sub
y - (-3) = 3/4(x - 0) =
y + 3 = 3/4(x - 0) <== here is another answer
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 3/4
using points (-4,-6)...x1 = -4 and y1 = -6
now we sub
y - (-6) = 3/4(x - (-4) =
y + 6 = 3/4(x + 4) <=== and here is another answer
Answer:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point slope form equation is [ y - y1 = m(x - x1) ]
(x1, y1) is any given point on the line.
m is the slope.
To solve this you would need these things:
- Slope (y2-y1/x2-x1)
- Y-intercept (y = mx + b)
Best of Luck!
1) 5:4 2) 4:5 3) 5:9 4) 2:3 5) 1:4 6)3:2 7) 5:13 8) 6:7 9) 7:5 10) 13:18 11) 18:5 12) 6:13. The others were weird, because it's been forever since I've had to do these.
