point slope form - show you how to find the equation of a line from a point on that line and the line's slope.
Formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

-11, -9, -7, -5, -3 What is the next number? What is the 200th term in this sequence?
-11, -9, -7, -5, -3 What is the next number? What is the 200th term in this sequence? We see that Term 1 is -11, Term 2 is -9, so we do a point slope equation of (1,-11)(2,-9) to get the [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/search.php?q=%281%2C-11%29%282%2C-9%29']nth term of the formula[/URL] f(n) = 2n - 13 The next number is the 6th term: f(6) = 2(6) - 13 f(6) = 12 - 13 f(6) = [B]-1 [/B] The 200th term is: f(200) = 2(200) - 13 f(200) = 400 - 13 f(200) = [B]387[/B]

5, 14, 23, 32, 41....1895 What term is the number 1895? Set up a point slope for the first 2 points: (1, 5)(2, 14) Using [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/search.php?q=%281%2C+5%29%282%2C+14%29&x=0&y=0']point slope formula, our series function[/URL] is: f(n) = 9n - 4 To find what term 1895 is, we set 9n - 4 = 1895 and solve for n: 9n - 4 = 1895 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=9n-4%3D1895&pl=Solve']equation solver[/URL], we get: n = [B]211[/B]

A circle has a center at (6, 2) and passes through (9, 6) The radius (r) is found by [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/slope.php?xone=6&yone=2&slope=+2%2F5&xtwo=9&ytwo=6&pl=You+entered+2+points']using the distance formula[/URL] to get: r = 5 And the equation of the circle is found by using the center (h, k) and radius r as: (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 (x - 6)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5^2 [B](x - 6)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 25[/B]

Choose the equation of a line in standard form that satisfies the given conditions. perpendicular to
Choose the equation of a line in standard form that satisfies the given conditions. perpendicular to 4x + y = 8 through (4, 3). Step 1: Find the slope of the line 4x + y = 8. In y = mx + b form, we have y = -4x + 8. The slope is -4. To be perpendicular to a line, the slope must be a negative reciprocal of the line it intersects with. Reciprocal of -4 = -1/4 Negative of this = -1(-1/4) = 1/4 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/slope.php?xone=4&yone=3&slope=+0.25&xtwo=3&ytwo=2&bvalue=+&pl=You+entered+1+point+and+the+slope']slope calculator[/URL], we get [B]y = 1/4x + 2[/B]

Find y if the line through (1, y) and (2, 7) has a slope of 4.
Find y if the line through (1, y) and (2, 7) has a slope of 4. Given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), Slope formula is: slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) Plugging in our coordinates and slope to this formula, we get: (7 - y)/(2 - 1) = 4 7 - y/1 = 4 7 - y = 4 To solve this equation for y, w[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=7-y%3D4&pl=Solve']e type it in our search engine[/URL] and we get: y = [B]3[/B]

Line Equation-Slope-Distance-Midpoint-Y intercept
Free Line Equation-Slope-Distance-Midpoint-Y intercept Calculator - Enter 2 points, and this calculates the following:
* Slope of the line (rise over run) and the line equation y = mx + b that joins the 2 points
* Midpoint of the two points
* Distance between the 2 points
* 2 remaining angles of the rignt triangle formed by the 2 points
* y intercept of the line equation
* Point-Slope Form
* Parametric Equations and Symmetric Equations

Or, if you are given a point on a line and the slope of the line including that point, this calculates the equation of that line and the y intercept of that line equation, and point-slope form.

Also allows for the entry of m and b to form the line equation

What is the slope of the line through (1,9) and (5,3)
What is the slope of the line through (1,9) and (5,3) [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/slope.php?xone=1&yone=9&slope=+2%2F5&xtwo=5&ytwo=3&pl=You+entered+2+points']We run this through our slope calculator[/URL], and get an initial slope of 6/4. But this is not in simplest form. So we type 6/4 into our calculator, and s[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=6%2F4&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']elect the simplify option[/URL]. We get [B]3/2[/B]
