Question 360446: Find the equation of the line with the given points.
Answer y =
(1,6, - 3) and (5/6, 3)
Ok I get very confused with frractions and know that I am suppose to do the
3 - (-3)
5/6 - 1)
I am unsure first how to get that slope with the fraction there. Once I get the slope and put it in the correct form of y = mx + b, how would I get the b point?

Question 360442: Find an equation of the line with the given points
(-5, - 7) (-3, -8)
I did
-8 - (-7)
-3 - (-5) = -1/2 (correct?)
And then I am not sure what to do to get it in the y = mx + b form
I believe it would be y = -1/2x +b But how do i get that b?
Thank you

Question 360437: Find the equation of the line given the slope and points.
y =
m = 2/3 (8, -2)
I have tried working this, but always get confused when there are fractions included.
This is what I have so far:
y - ( -2) = 2/3(x-8)
Ok. Now what happens with the y + 2 = 2/3(x -8 )
is it 2y.
Please helpe try to figure this one.!!!
Thank you for your continued assistance!

An In-line skater practices ar a race track. In two trials the skater travles the same distance going from a standstill to his top racing speed. He then travels at his top racing speed for different distances.
Trial 1, Time at Top Speed 24 seconds, total distance traveled 300 meters.
Trial 2, Time at Top Speed 29 seconds, Total distance traveled 350 meters.
A. Model -Write an equation that gives the total distance traveled (in meters) as a function of time (in seconds) at top racing speed.
B. - Justify -What do the rate of change and initial value in your equation represent? Explain you answer using unit analysis.
C. Predict - One lap around the race track is 200 meters. The skater starts at a standstill and completes 3 laps. Predict the number of seconds the skater travels at his top racing speed. Explain your method.
