Question

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 = - 1 over 5(x - 2)
y - 2 = - 1 over 5(x + 3)

Answer 1

point slope form: \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)

what is m?

Answer 2

- 0.2 right?

Answer 3

slope = \(\large \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1-2}{2-(-3)}\)

Answer 4

Oh ok

Answer 5

So it is negative 1 over 5 right?

Answer 6

yeah. now we've narrowed our choices down to 2. plug in to the equation

Answer 7

Okay wait.. I think i did my work right so it would be D right?
Y – 2 = -1over5(x+3)

Answer 8

yus

Answer 9

Thank you!!
