15: 4 is the slope
y - 5 = 4(x - 2) --- IN POINT SLOPE FORM
y - 5 = 4x - 8
+ 5 + 5
y = 4x - 3 --- IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
- 4 is the slope
- -3 is the y - intercept AKA the starting point
16: y = 6x + 2 --- IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
ABOUT POINT SLOPE FORM:
- y - Y1 = m(x - X1)
- Y1 & X1 is a point
- m is the slope
ABOUT PROBLEM:
- Y1 is 14
- X1 is 2
- 6 is slope
y - 14 = 6(x - 2) --- IN POINT SLOPE FORM
y - 14 = 6x - 12
+ 14 + 14
y = 6x + 2 --- IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM
17: y - 5 = 2(x - 1) --- IN POINT SLOPE FORM
- Y2 is 9
- Y1 is 5
- X2 is 3
- X1 is 1
Y2 - Y1
X2 - X1
9 - 5
3 - 1
4
2
SIMPLIFIED: The slope is 2 because both 4 & 2 can be divided by 2.
y - Y1 = m(x - X1)
y - 5 = 2(x - 1) --- IN POINT SLOPE FORM
Hope this helps you!!! :)
