How do you find an equation in slope intercept form of the line satisfying the given condition ?
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: That depends on the condition you are given.
\n" ); document.write( "If you are given two points you need to find the slope and the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "slope = [change in y]/[change in x]
\n" ); document.write( "If you post a particular problem or two you will probably receive help with
\n" ); document.write( "this process.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ". . . Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (-2, 14) and (3, -9)
\n" ); document.write( "The x and y coordinates of the midpoint are the average of the given x and y values.
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2+3)/2 = 5/2
\n" ); document.write( "y = (14+-9)/2 = 5/2
\n" ); document.write( "So, the mispoint is (5/2 , 5/2)
