Question

Which equations in point-slope form are equations of the line that pass through the points (4, 5) and (−3, −1)?

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.

Answer 1

A: y - 3 = 7/6 (x - 1)
B: y - 5 = 6/7 (x - 4)
C: y + 1 = 6/7 (x + 3)
D: y - 4 = 7/6 (x - 5)

Answer 2

For a line passing through two points say, A\((x_1,y_1)\) and B\((x_2,y_2)\), the equation is:
\[\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}
\]
Can you use this for the points given to you?
Rearrange in point-slope form after substituting the values.

Answer 3

how do you do that?

Answer 4

You have two points and their coordinates right?
A(4,5) and B(-3,-1)

(I have named them for simplicity's sake.)

Answer 5

Ok
