Question

FAN and MEDAL.
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

okay.... so do you know what point-slope form is?

Answer 2

find slope, then plug known values into point-slope form

Answer 3

point -slope form is y1 - y2 = m(x1 - x2)

Answer 4

your slope is 1/5

Answer 5

so, this narrows down your answer to either c or d

Answer 6

-1/5

Answer 7

oh, yeah... -1/5 sorry :)

Answer 8

So you use one of the points and plug it into the equation to get your answer.
In this problem, they used (-3, 2)...
SO, your answer is ???

Answer 9

no clue thats why i posted it on here

Answer 10

okay, so you know that the slope is -1/5, right?
so, they used the point (-3, 2) in this problem and plugged it into the equation, and the coordinates are x, y, right?

Answer 11

so, you would use y1 - y2 = m(x1 - x2)
plug the numbers in and you get: y + 3 = -1/5(x - 2)

Answer 12

that is which answer? C or D?

Answer 13

it is c. hope I could help. :)
good job.... normally most people don't cooperate. they just sit there and wait for me to answer the question. :)

Answer 14

tbh thats really all i was doing , thank you for being so smart i wouldnt have found the answer by myself
