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 = −one fifth(x − 2)

y − 2 = −one fifth(x + 3)

Answer 1

@phi last one

Answer 2

Yes, that is correct!

Answer 3

u sure your not phi

Answer 4

I'm definitely sure of 2 things: the correct answer, and the fact that I'm not phi!

Answer 5

lol ok

Answer 6

the first step is find the slope. can you do that ?

Answer 7

Good luck in all of your studies and thanks for the recognition! @ryanmj6

Answer 8

idk how to find the slope sorry

Answer 9

brb my girlfriend needs help with something

Answer 10

By "last one", did you mean this is your last question, or that you are selecting the last choice for your answer? I thought you were picking your answer.

Answer 12

last answer

Answer 13

i guess but it was supposed to be last question

Answer 14

find the slope first
slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-3,2) -- x1 = -3, y1 = 2
(2,1) -- x2 = 2, y2 = 1)

Answer 15

The slope, which is referred to as "m" is as follows:\[m = \frac{ y_{2} - y _{1} }{ x _{2} - x _{1} }\]where\[(x _{1}, y _{1})\]and\[(x _{2}, y _{2})\]are your given points. So, you would have:\[m = \frac{ 2 - 1 }{ -3 - 2 }\]
