Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (0, 5) and (–2, 11)?

Answer 1

\[m = \frac {y_2 -y_1} {x_2 - x_1}\]

Answer 2

that's the formula for slope

Answer 3

\[y-y_1 = m(x- x_1) \]

Answer 4

that's the point slope formula

Answer 5

What you do is, find the slope first, then enter one of the given points into the point slope formula along with m, the slope, then simplify
