Question

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

y + 3 = -5(x - 2)
y - 2 = -5(x + 3)
y + 3 = -1/5 (x - 2)
y - 2 = -1/5 (x + 3)

Answer 1

You can find the slope of the line going through \[(x _{1},y _{1}) and (x _{2}, y _{2})\]using the formula
\[m=\left( \left( y _{1} -y _{2}\right)\over \left( x _{1}-x _{2} \right) \right)\]Then use the point -slope formula
\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
