  • How do I change point-slope form to standard form?

    This is probably a simple math problem for most of you out there, but I'm having trouble figuring out what to do next after substituting the terms into the equation. I keep getting y=Ax-AB+C, which I'm pretty sure is wrong. Here is the question below.

    "Change the point-slope form of the equation of the line y-y_=m(x-x_) to the standard form Ax+By=C

    To do this, you must express A, B, and C in terms of the constants m, x_, and y_.

    Show your calculations."

    Thanks for helping me

  • Should i get a lawyer for a reckless driving ticket?

    I had a done some drinking at my gf's college and a friend of ours got sick from alcohol poisoning so we took her to the emergency room. we stayed in the emergency room for 3 hours so i was completely fine once we were able to leave the hospital. it was raining that night and i couldn't see a one-way sign on the street i made a turn onto. it was about 2am in the quiet town so there was no oncoming traffic (not trying to make excuses) and immediately i was pulled over by 4 police cars. i explained to the officer that all i was trying to do was get everyone home safely after what had happened to our friend. i was given field sobriety tests (all passed) and a breathalizer (0.05, intoxicated is 0.08 in VA). the officer gave me a ticket for reckless driving for making the mistake of turning onto a one-way street in the pouring rain and being in an unfamiliar area.

    this was in fredericksburg, va

    cliffnotes: left the hospital after a friend got sick, drove back home in the rain, made a wrong turn onto a one-way street, blew a 0.05, got a reckless driving ticket for making the wrong turn.

  • How do i increase my speed, endurance, and explosiveness for the college level??

    I am 19 looking to try out for my college track team next year and I need to increase my speed and explosiveness to compete at that level. I am running about a 10.85 100m and only about a 23 on the 200m. My problem is that I am not very explosive off the start, and I am unable to maintain my speed for a distance (as seen in my 200m time).

    What I am looking for is a program I can do weekly to improve for next year when I try out for my team. My main goals again are to get increases in:

    Speed

    Endurance

    Explosiveness

    If there is anyone who has an suggestions are an actual program i can run that would be great. If anymore info is needed let me know
