Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (−3, 2) and (2, 1).

Answer 1

2, 1
--3, -2
-------
5,-1 slope = -1/5

y-1 = -1/5 (x-2)

Answer 2

y=mx+b
y=1
1=2(-1/5)+b
1=-2/5+b
solve the equation b=find it out :)

Answer 3

point slope form; but yes, that is a good way to determing the slope intercept form

Answer 4

yes their is 2 ways to do it

Answer 5

no; there is only one way to use the point slope form of a line.

There are many ways describe the equation of a line. .... but only one way to describe it in point slope form....

Answer 6

yes but their is y=mx+b and y-\[_{?}\]=m(x-\[_{?}\]

Answer 7

the y intercept form and the point slope formula u can do it both ways

Answer 8

"Choose the point-slope form of the equation":

y - y1 = m(x-x1) ; where point is P(x1,y1).

Now if you want to do this the long way..... then yes, try to fight thru the slope-intercept form to get to it. By the way, I have never really found a good use for the point-slope form, unless we are looking for the equation of a tangent line to the curve, then its pretty handy :)

Answer 9

hahaaha yes it is :) which grade (or class or year )are u ???

Answer 10

im 39 years old; i dont think I have a grade any more ;)

Answer 11

hahahaha ya i dont think so lol sry for asking do u teach or something???

Answer 12

i just help people online with their math problems if i can :) im going for my masters degree in math to be a college math teacher at the moment tho.

Answer 13

oh! ya really very nice:)

Answer 14

in which country??

Answer 15

here in the usa...
