Question

15 POINTS!

Use the coordinates of the labeled points to find a point slope equation of this line -5,2 -1,0
Given the point slope equation y+2=-3(x+1) what is the slope of the line?

Answers

  1. Answer:
    -3
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Point slope means y-y=m(x-x)
    m is the slope
    in this case, -3 is the slope
    y+2=-3(x+1)
    2. Use the coordinates of the labeled points to find a point slope equation of this line -5,2 -1,0.
    The answer would be (slope-intercept): y=-0.5x-0.5
    To find the answer, you’d find the slope from the two points…
    y=-0.5x+b
    then substitute y and x and add in x and y values from a point (I’ll use the point -5,2)
    2=-0.5(-5) + b
    simplify and isolate to get
    b=-0.5
