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 = -one fifth(x - 2)

y - 2 = -one fifth(x + 3)

Answer 1

Answer 2

y + 3 = −5(x − 2)
y − 2 = −5(x + 3)
y + 3 = −(x − 2)
y − 2 = −(x + 3)

is this it?

Answer 3

yup

Answer 4

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (−3, 2) and (2, 1)?

The equation is of the form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
(x1, y1) is either of the given points; "m" is the slope.

Find the slope.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
....= (1-2)/(2+3) = -1/5
However, this slope is not in any of the options, and I checked my work, so either you mistyped something, maybe one of the points, or the people making the book made a mistake.

Plug in either point for y1 and x1 in the equation. Apparently they used (-3, 2).
y - 2 = -(1/5)(x - (-3))
y - 2 = -(1/5)(x + 3)

so its D
