Please help. I will give medal to best answer.

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-5, 1) with a slope of three halves.

y - 5 = three halves(x + 1)

y + 1 = three halves(x - 5)

y + 5 = three halves(x - 1)

y - 1 = three halves(x + 5)

Can you please help me @binks?

PLEASE HELP me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zpupster · Answer

slope-intercept equation of all lines is y=mx+b
A point-slope equation of lines is y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m=slope
(x1,y1) is the ordered pair

just plug them in and watch your signs

what did you get?

anonymous · Answer

I'm sorry that just totally confused me.

zpupster · Answer

slow down and breathe

i will show you how to plug them in-

(-5,1) = (x1,y1) and m=3/2

here is our equation
y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-(-5) = 3/2(x-(1)

now what did you get??

anonymous · Answer

I don't know how to solve it but my answer is the third on which is y + 5 = 3/2(x-1)
right?
