find the slope of the line containing the indicated points.

1.) (3,0) and (-3,4)

2.) (2,6) and (1,5)

also....

Identify the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) for each line.

1.) 3x+4y=6

2.) -2x-y=4

thank you sooooo much!!!!!

  1. ok..since im just THIS bored...1. (at the top) m= -3/2

    2.-1/-1 idk what that turns out to be...1 i think

    1. (at the bottom) -3/4=m b=3/2

    2. m=-2

    b= -4


  2. the formula for slope of a line is Y2-Y1/X2-X1

    in the first case                      4-3/-3-0=  1/-3= -1/3

    similarly the second one

    / means divide

    when an equation is given and you are asked to find the y intercept solve the equation for y

    for the 1st one        4y=6-3x

                                 y=6-3x/4

    then set  x= 0 so it will be 6/4 which is 3/2 which is 1.5

    in the same  way if they ask you the slope of the line

    it is simple you solve for y as you did and the slope is the co efficient of x in this case

    6-3x/4 can be written as y=6/4-3x/4 so the slope is -3/4

    use the  sign as well

  3. The equation for finding the slope of a line is

    m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    Therefore:

    (4-0)/(-3-3)=-2/3

    (5-6)/(1-2)=1

    For your next set: y=mx+b where m is your slope, and b is your y intercept.

    First you must put your equations into slope-intercept form by:

    3x+4y=6

    divide all this by 4 (to get y alone)

    this gives you: 3/4x+y=2/3

    move y to the right side: 3/4x=2/3-y

    now move 2/3 to the left side: 3/4x-2/3=-y

    because you can't have a negative y, divide by -1 on both sides: -3/4x+2/3=y

    So: your slope=-3/4 and your y intercept is 2/3

    2.)  -2x-y=4

    -2x=4+y

    -2x-4=y

    slope: -2, y intercept: -4

  4. well... i dont like giving answer but since i cant verbally talk to u i guess ill type it... to find the slope it is   : (y-y)/(x-x) such as (4-0)/(-3-3)which is equilivant to -2/3 u can do #2 by urself... ok and the slop on bottom is considered as :  3X+4Y=6 which is Y=(-3/4)X+3/2 so the slope is -3/4 and y intercept is 3/2... hope this helps
