Question

A line segment has one endpoint at P(2, 5) and another, Q, on the line x = 3. Which expression represents the slope of line segment PQ?

y-5
x-3
2x+5y
3x+5y

Answer 1

point Q is the point (3,y) since it is on the line x = 3

Answer 2

now use the slope formula to get

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (y-5)/(3-2)

m = (y-5)/(1)

m = y-5


So the slope is y-5

Answer 3

thank you
