Question

What is the point-slope equation of the line with slope 3/2 that goes through the point (-3, 5)?

A. y-5=-3/2(x+3)
B. y+5=-3/2(x-3)
C. y+5=3/2(x-3)
D. y-5=3/2(x+3)
Ok would it be C?
I know that A and B are wrong cause the slope is a positive 3/2 not a negative -3/2.

Answer 1

no exactly:
you know that -(-a) would be +a
so when you plug in the x-coordinate you get: (x--3) which is x+3.

the 5 though, is positive, so it would be just a normal y-a

Answer 2

So then it would be D.?
