Point Slope Form of an Equation
hey can anybody help me see if i did these correct thanx
1. Slope = ½; (h, k) = (1, -2)
y-k=m(x-h)
y+2=1/2(x-1)
y+2=1/2x-1/2
-2 -2
y=1/2X+3/2
2. Slope equals 2 and the line goes through the point (-1, 3)
2. y-k=m(x-h)
y-3=2(x--1)
y-3=2(x+1)
y-3=2x+2
y=2x+-1
3. The line goes through the points (8,5) and (9, 6)
3. 6-5\9-8=1\1=1 slope=1
y-k=m(x-h)
y-5=1(x-8)
y-5=1x-8
y=1x+3
4. The line goes through the points (-1, -7) and (-8, -2)
4. -5/7=slope or M
y-k=m(x-h)
y+2=-5/7(x+8)
y=-5/7x+6
5. The line goes through the points (1/2, 3/2) and (-1/4, 5/4)
5- m=1/3
y-3/2=1/3(x-1/2)
y-3/2=1/3x-1/6
y=1/3x+4/3

Re: Point Slope Form of an Equation
Hi,
1) and 5) are correct. Small mistakes in others.

Re: Point Slope Form of an Equation
3.6-5\9-8=1\1=1 slope=1
y-k=m(x-h)
y-5=1(x-8)
y-5=1x-8
y=1x+3
again just need 1x-3 instead of 1x+3.

Re: Point Slope Form of an Equation
4. -5/7=slope or M
y-k=m(x-h)
y+2=-5/7(x+8)
y=-5/7x+6
when you have a number in front of parentheses you have to multiply everything inside them. so:

Hi anonimnystefy,
A little mistake in your step:

Re: Point Slope Form of an Equation
You might want to make another thread discussing it, but most of us think it's fun. Really, when you get past the high school and calculus level math and delve in to pure math, you find it much more enriching and fun (I really mean fun).

Hi anonymous;
Why not join up here and try some math?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

He did score the second worst introductory post in history though.
