plot the point (3,5)
Then move right 2, down 1 and plot the point (5,4)
Draw a line through those two points.
Read up on the definition of slope and how to calculate it.
Been stuck on this for an hour please help
also r.i.p. ms sue, just heard about it, haven't been here in 3 years
Then move right 2, down 1 and plot the point (5,4)
Draw a line through those two points.
Read up on the definition of slope and how to calculate it.
1. Plot the given point (3, 5) on a graph.
2. Start at the given point and use the slope (-1/2) to find another point on the line.
To find the second point:
- Move 2 units horizontally (to the right) from the given point (since the denominator of the slope is 2).
- Move 1 unit vertically (downward) from the current position (since the numerator of the slope is -1).
3. Plot the second point on the graph.
4. Draw a straight line passing through both plotted points.
Remember, rest in peace to Ms. Sue; it's important to honor and remember those who have made a positive impact.
To draw a line passing through a specific point (3, 5) with a given slope (-1/2), you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Understand the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is given by: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept.
Step 2: Use the point-slope formula.
The point-slope formula is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.
Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula.
Substituting the given point (3, 5) and slope (-1/2) into the point-slope formula, we get: y - 5 = (-1/2)(x - 3).
Step 4: Convert the equation into slope-intercept form.
To convert the equation into slope-intercept form, simplify the equation by distributing the -1/2 to the terms in the parentheses: y - 5 = (-1/2)x + 3/2.
Next, isolate y by adding 5 to both sides of the equation: y = (-1/2)x + 3/2 + 5.
Simplifying further, we get: y = (-1/2)x + 13/2.
So the equation of the line passing through the point (3, 5) with a slope of -1/2 is y = (-1/2)x + 13/2.
Now, you have the equation of the line and can plot the points on a graph or draw the line accordingly.
