Question 908613: Slope equals 2 and the line goes through the point (-1, 3)
The line goes through the points (8,5) and (9, 6)
The line goes through the points (-1, -7) and (-8, -2)
The line goes through the points (1/2, 3/2) and (-1/4, 5/4)
Please help me solve these I have tried multiple times and can't get the correct answer.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope equals 2 and the line goes through the point (-1, 3)
y-3=2(x+1) point-slope format
You did not say what format the Answer was to use...
slope-intercept: y = 2x + 5 ****
0r
Standard Form???: 2x-y = -5
Could be part of Your not getting the right answer
NOt using the format asked for...

Re TY, Yes, always important to know what You are going after ...
The others done like the first, after finding slope: m+=%28y%5B1%5D+-+y%5B2%5D%29%2F%28x%5B1%5D+-+x%5B2%5D+%29
(8,5) and
(9, 6) m = -1/-1 = 1, y-5=1%28x-8%29, y+=+x+-3
......
(-1, -7) and
(-8, -2)m = -5/7, y+%2B+7+=+%28-5%2F7%29%28x%2B1%29, y+=+%28-5%2F7%29x+-+40%2F7
......
(1/2, 3/2) and
(-1/4, 5/4) m = (1/4)/(3/4) = 1/3, y-3%2F2+=+%281%2F3%29%28x-1%2F2%29, y+=+%281%2F3%29x+%2B+8%2F6 0r y+=+%281%2F3%29x+%2B+4%2F3
