Example:
Pin 38758
• Find the distance between the points (3,5) , (1,7). D=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
D=√(1-3)^2+(7-5)^2
D= √(-2)^2+(2)^2
D=√4+4
D=√8
• The equation of the line passing through them. Y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-5=-1(x-3)
y-5=-x+3
(x-3)+(y-5)=(-x+3) +(x-3)
X+y-8=0
• Round all numbers to 1 decimal point and answer in slope intercept form. Y=mx+b
S=y2-y1/x2-x1
S= (7-5)/(1-3)
S= -2/2
S=-1
X+Y-8=0
(X+Y-8)-(X+8)=(0)-(X+8)
Y=-X+8
My Work:
MY PIN:29854
Problem
The Discussion Board problems are based on your PIN (Precalculus Identification Number – this is a five digit number that should have been supplied by your instructor). The letters that are in bold in brackets correspond to your PIN. The first digit is [a], the second digit is [b], etc.
For the points ( [a] , [d] ) and (1, [c] ), find
b) and the equation of the line passing through them.
Round all numbers to 1 decimal place and write your answer in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
