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)

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)

Find the Slope First:

anonymous · Answer

$$m=\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }$$

anonymous · Answer

Then...Use Point Slope form

anonymous · Answer

ok now i got it... y + 3 = −1/5(x − 2) (C)

anonymous · Answer

Nop.....this shuld be the  answer  y − 2 = −1/5(x + 3)

anonymous · Answer

Two point form:

$$y-y1=m(x-x1)$$

anonymous · Answer

ohh

anonymous · Answer

(x-3) is with one set and (x+2) is with 2 sets

anonymous · Answer

Thanks with that i'm getting the others more easily.
