Question

REWARDING MEDALS!

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (0, 6) and (1, 3)?

Can some correct me if I am wrong? Or if I am right? Thanks!

Options:
a) (y-3) = -3(x-1)
b) (y+3) = 3(x+1)
c) (y+3) = -3(x+1)
d) (y-3) = 3(x+6)

I chose option B.

Answer 1

what is the equation for the slope?

Answer 2

ok. why did you choose B?

Answer 3

Hi, this is one of the two questions I have left. This is a pre-test which is optional, before the actual quiz. Can you tell me the correct answer for this? It's been long, and I would like to finish this off.

Answer 4

With an explanation?

Answer 5

and I prefer to walk you through so you can ace this and all future test

Answer 6

you have 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) the slope is
change in y / change in x
y2 - y1/(x2 - x1)
plug the points you have here and you will find the slope for that line
the slope is the same for any 2 points on that line
the general equation use one of the given points and (x, y)
this will give option A

Answer 7

you didn't respond with what you did so I couldn't tell where you made a mistake

Answer 8

Oops sorry, I disconnected.

Answer 9
