srry i know ur busy this is the last one i have i just need the formula

3. anonymous

ok, last one and then I really have to leave. I won't be any good to my students tomorrow if I'm sleepy :)

4. anonymous

ya srry

$\frac{ y-y_1 }{ x-x_1 }$

6. anonymous

thx

use (1,6) for x and y and then (0,3) for x1 and y1. You'll avoid negative numbers that way!

8. anonymous

ok i worked it out is it 2/1

9. anonymous

tell me what you did step by step

10. anonymous

ok so i did the equation 0-6 over 1-3

11. anonymous

look back at the formula and plug in one number at a time. what's y? what's y1?

12. anonymous

3 and 6?

14. anonymous

y is 3 y1 is 6 x is 0 and x1 is 1

15. anonymous

see how I've labeled the coordinates? do that on paper every time and you'll have a much easier time plugging them into the equation!

16. anonymous

ya much easier

17. anonymous

is it 3?

18. anonymous

yes it is :)
