Find the slope of these points. (4,1) and (5,-1)
m(slope) = Y2 - Y1/X2 - X1
m = -1 - 1/5 - 4
= -2/1 or - 2
Now I prefer to use one set of nice points and this formula, the point slope formula. Use (4,1)
Y - Y1 = m(X - X1)
Y - 1 = - 2(X - 4)
distribute the slope
Y - 1 = - 2X + 8
add 1 to each side
Y = - 2X + 9
-----------------the equation
As for example the perpendicular equation to line y = 2x+6 could be y = -1/2x+6 because the negative reciprocal of 2x is -1/2x
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line (-7,3); x=4
The parallel equation will have the same slope but with a different y intercept
The equation in slope-intercept form would be y=-2x

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).

y = 0. You can get this from the slope-intercept equation of the line.
As for example the perpendicular equation to line y = 2x+6 could be y = -1/2x+6 because the negative reciprocal of 2x is -1/2x
yes because you will need the slope and y-intercept to find the equation of a line and the point through which the line passes is the y-intercept so it is yes!!!!!!! Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line (-7,3); x=4
i dont knows
Equation: y = 3x+4 therefore the y intercept is 4
The parallel equation will have the same slope but with a different y intercept
Slope = 1Y-intercept = 0Y = X
Yes - It's the point on the y-axis that the equation passes through
Find an equati find an equation for the line perpendicular to the line 8x - 8 y equals negative 2 having the same Y intercept as -6x + 2 y equals negative 8
