Question

talia wants to write the equation of the graphed line in point-slope form. These are the steps she plans to use:
Step 1: Choose a point on the line, such as (2, 5).
Step 2: Choose another point on the line, such as (1, 3).
Step 3: Count units to determine the slope ratio. The line runs 1 unit to the right and rises 2 units up, so the slope is.
Step 4: Substitute those values into the point-slope form. y – y1 = m(x – x1) y – 3 = (x – 1) Which of Talia’s steps is incorrect? Step 1 is incorrect because it uses a point that is not on the line. Step 2 is incorrect because it uses a point that is not on the line. Step 3 is incorrect because it shows an incorrect ratio of the slope.
Step 4 is incorrect because it shows an incorrect substitution of (1, 3) into the point-slope form

Answer 1

From the steps Talia chooses to find the equation of the line, we shall evaluate the incorrect step as follows:
Step 1:
Choose a point in the line such as (2,5)
Step 2:
Choose another point on the line, such as (1, 3)
step 3:
Count units to determine the slope ratio. The line runs 1 unit to the right and rises 2 units up, so the slope is. 
(5-3)/(2-1)=2/2=1
step 4:
 Substitute those values into the point-slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-3=2(x-1)
y=2x+1
Thus the answer is:
Step 4 is incorrect because it shows an incorrect substitution of (1, 3) into the point-slope form

Answer 2

just took the test the right answer is step 3 is incorrect
