Using Slope-Intercept Form
Use slope formula, m=02 91, to find the slope of a line that passes through the points (-3, 8) and (4, -6).

Use slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to find the y-intercept (b) of the line.
b =
What is the new equation written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b?
Done

add an !

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.

this excerpt is taken from the book “we shall not be moved : the women’s factory strike of 1909 “ and is written by joan dash. it is the story of the great strike when almost 30thousand women working in factories in america formed a union to fight unsafe working conditions, long working hours and miserable wages.
