Will Give Medal To Best Answer What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (0, 5) and (−2, 11)? y − 5 = −3(x + 2) y − 5 = 3(x + 2) y − 11 = −3(x − 2) y − 11 = −3(x + 2)

OpenStudy (zale101):

since you're getting tested on the point slope form, that means you already passed learning about the slope formula. Are you familiar with the slope formula? \[slope=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }\]

i got -3

@Zale101

OpenStudy (zale101):

for the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

6/-2

OpenStudy (zale101):

that;s correct,

OpenStudy (zale101):

now, plug that in the point slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):
