Question 95486: How do you find an equation in slope intercept form of the line satisfying the given condition . . . Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (-2, 14) and (3, -9)
Help me understand these kinds of problems please?

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