Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the points (-3,5) and (2,-5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assign the given coordinates as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "x1 = -3; y1 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x2 = 2; y2 = -5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the slope formula to find the slope (m): m = \"%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using our values:
\n" ); document.write( "m = \"%28-5+-+5%29%2F%282+-%28-3%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "which is:
\n" ); document.write( "m = \"%28-5+-+5%29%2F%282+%2B+3%29\" = \"%28-10%29%2F5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "m = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope formula to find the equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = -2(x - (-3))
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = -2(x + 3)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = -2x - 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x - 6 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x - 1; is the slope intercept equation
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can substitute the given values for x in the above equation
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm that you get the given values for y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How about these steps, did they make sense to you? \n" ); document.write( "
