HELP?!!?!
What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (-2, -5) and (2, 3)?

Question

dangerousjesse · Answer

The slope is 2 and y-intecept is -1. Can you make that an equation?

To find the point-slope equation, you simply find the y-intercept, which, in this case, is negative one, and the slope (2). Since slope is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\textsf{slope}$, you'll use the inverse operation of $\frac{y}{x}=\textsf{slope}$, which is $x\times \textsf{slope}$$=y$, or $2x$ and you'll add the y-intercept to that to find y, or $y=2x-1$
