Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (-2, 1) and (4, 13)?

y - 1 = -2(x - 4)
y - 1 = 2(x + 2)
y - 13 = -2(x + 2)
y - 13 = 2(x + 4)

Answer 1

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO FIND THE SLOPE?

Answer 2

Sorry for the caps, I'm not that excited about rise-over-run

Answer 3

y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 4

but i dont know how to find the answer with all the equations as answers :(

Answer 5

Alright so first we need the slope, and once we do, we can get rid of some answers bc the slopes are different on some numbers compared to others

Answer 6

Alright find the slope for me first and tell me what you get

Answer 7

the slope is 2

Answer 8

Answer 9

Ok, so we're left with B and D since the A and C have slopes of -2

Answer 10

D?

Answer 11

Wait

Answer 12

\[\Huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
where m=slope
(x1,y1) is a point

Answer 13

If we try B we see that it works and if we try D we see that when we do the (x-x1) part we should get (x-4) but our answers gives us (x+4) if we had -4 as the point it would be (x-(-4)) which equals (x+4)

Answer 14

oh so its B

Answer 15

Correct

THANK YOUUUUUU
