Question

Which of the following is an equation of a line passing through the points (-6,1) and (3,-2)

A. -3y=x+3 B. 3y=x-3 C. y-1=-1/3x D. y+1=1/3x

Answer 1

Find the slope, M = Y2 - Y1/X2-x1

Then plug into y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

I got 3/9 for the slope, do i divide by 3? and I need help plugging in

Answer 3

M = -2-1/3-(-6) = -3/9 = -1/3

The slope is -1/3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1 = -1/3(x-(-6))

Answer 4

ok, thx
