Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (3, 6) and (–2, 1)?

Answer 1

First use the slope formula to find the slope.
\[m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2} \implies \frac{6 - 1}{3 - (-2)} \implies ?\]Then use point-slope form.
\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\]

Answer 2

or you can use two equations
6 = 3m+b
1 = 2m+b multiply second by -1
6=3m+b
-1 = -2m-b add them
5 = m if m = 5
6 = 3(5) +b
b = -9

Answer 3

y = 5x-9

Answer 4

@zzr0ck3r It's asking for point-slope form. Not slope-intercept form.
