Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (2, 5) and (−1, 8)?

y + 5 = 1(x + 2)

y + 8 = −1(x − 1)

y − 5 = −1(x − 2)

y − 8 = 1(x − 2)

Answer 1

I am clueless on this one lol....

Answer 2

@ganeshie8

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

you're given two points
(2, 5) and (−1, 8)

Answer 5

first find slope

Answer 6

sorry was afk

Answer 7

okie

Answer 8

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(8 - 5) / (-1 - 2)
3 / -3

Answer 9

yea can it be simplified further ? :)

Answer 10

3/-3...
-1

Answer 11

slope of -1

Answer 12

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

Answer 13

m = -1

Answer 14

pick a point :-
(2, 5)
x1 y1

Answer 15

plug them above

Answer 16

y − 5 = −1(x − 2)

Answer 17

Yup !

Answer 18
