Question 814166: Hi! I am going nuts with this problem. They gave me a graph with a "launch area" and (1,2). Then they ask to log the coordinates of the specific points in which my spacecraft will travel. I have to include it in the graph of my points and the lines connecting each point.
Point A
Point B
Point C
Then they ask me a lot of questions like:1-determine the equation of the line in standard form from the launch area to point A.
2-Determine the equation of the line in point-slope form from point A to point B.
3-Determine the equation of the line in slope-intercept form from point B to point C.
4-In question 2, you selected one of two points (point A or point B) to be included in your point-slope equation. Write the point-slope form of that equation again using the other coordinates.
5-Convert the equation you arrived at in question 2 and question 4 into slope-intercept form.
6-Does the point you select matter when you write a point-slope equation? Explain your reasoning.
7-Reflect back on this scenario and each equation you created. Would any restrictions apply to the domain and range of those equations? Explain.
8-Explain why it is important to understand any limitations of the domain and range.
I am lost in this homework! It is so long! I know the standard linear equation is: Ax+By=C
The point-slope form is:
y-y1+m-(x-x1)
Slope-intercept form is:
y=mx+b
I would appreciate immensely if you could help me please! I've try and cannot do it. Thank you so much in advance. Thank you !

you seem to be missing a point.
The point-slope form is:
y-y1=m*(x-x1)
[not y-y1+m-(x-x1)]
