Question

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

Answer 1

You have two points.
The two points can gives us the slope.
m = (11-5)/(-2-0)
m = 6/-2 or -3
Now that you have a slope use it with either point. I'll use the second point (-2, 11)

y - (11) = -3(x - (-2)
y - 11 = -3(x + 2)
y - 11 = -3x - 6
y - 11 = -3x - 6 + 11
y = -3x + 5
