Question

1. What is the slope of the line that passes through the points E(3, 0) and F (6, -3)?

*If necessary, write your answer as a fraction/improper fraction in simplest form.

m =

2. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form using the two points from the previous question.

y = __x+__

Answer 1

1. m=- -1 2. -1+1

Explanation:

Ok for the first one you need to label 3 x1 0 y1 6 x2

and -3 y2

Next you need to do y2-y1 over x2-x1 so fill that in and your equasion is (-3-0)

------------ = -3

( 6-3) ----

3

That reduces to -1 because -3 divided by 3 is -1

As for number 2 we need to find b to do this pick any of the y's from before we can go with 0 so the 0 is y in the equasion and we already learned slope is -1 so your equasion should be 0=--1+b ok to solve this you need to add -1 to both sides since its a negitive so you add 1 to 0 which is 1 and when you add 1 to -1 it cancells it out so you have 1=b so b is 1 for the equsion you just fill it in so it is y=- -1+1

I hope I helped
