Algebra.Com's Answer #87453 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a line passes throughthe given points. write an equation for the live in point-slope form. then rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form. \n" ); document.write( "(6,-4) (-3,5) \n" ); document.write( "y1-y2/x1-x2 \n" ); document.write( "i got \n" ); document.write( "[5-(-4)]/[-3-6] = 9/-8 = -1 \n" ); document.write( "is that right? \n" ); document.write( "Yes, that is right. \n" ); document.write( "so you add 5-(-4). but i thought you were supposed to subtract everytime though. \n" ); document.write( "You DID subtract; but when you subtract -4 from 5 you add +4 and +5 to get +9. \n" ); document.write( " can u clear this up for me? thanks \n" ); document.write( "=========================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
