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

ghazi · Answer

it seems none of your options are correct

Lemme try to solve?

anonymous · Answer

really? these are the one's i have listed though..? @ghazi

karatechopper · Answer

.....Ghazi is right

ghazi · Answer

you just need to use standard equation of line (y-y1)=slope *(x-x1) and on the basis of this i can't see any of the option matching the answer

anonymous · Answer

okay how about now guys?! @karatechopper @ghazi i think my computer deleted the fractions

ghazi · Answer

it's obviously D

Hahaha! Now it makes sense!
Ok its the last one. Thats the one i got the answer for
