Question

Please help will fan and medal!!!
Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (-3,2) and (2,1)
A) y+3=-5(x-2)
B) y-2=-5(x+3)
C) y+3=-1/5(x-2)
D) y-2=-1/5(x+3)

Answer 1

@Hotchellerae21 do you think you could help me with this one too? Its different than the last since it doesn't give you the slope?

Answer 2

Would I still use y=mx+b?

Answer 3

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)



Given the equation y − 3 = 1/2 (x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in slope-intercept form?

Slope-intercept form is "y=mx+b", "m" being the slope and "b" being the y-intercept.
Simplify the given equation to this form.
y - 3 = (1/2)x + 3
y = (1/2)x + 6
Again, none of the options given are the correct answer.



Given the equation y − 3 = 1/2 (x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard form?

Standard form is of the form "Ax + By = C".
y - 3 = (1/2)x + 3
y - (1/2)x = 6
Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2.
2y - x = 12
Switch the x and y terms (the order) and multiply both sides so that the first term is positive.
x - 2y = -12 (answer A) Give medal please if that is what your looking for thanks
