Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (2, 5) and (−1, 8)?

y + 5 = 1(x + 2)
y + 8 = −1(x − 1)
y − 5 = −1(x − 2)
y − 8 = 1(x − 2)

Answer 1

\[y-y1=m(x-x1)\] thats the point slop formula

Answer 2

ok first we need to find the slope so...\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\] this is the slop formula
\[\frac{ 8-5 }{ -1-2 }\]

Answer 3

can you solve that?

Answer 4

hello are you stuck?

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 3 }{ -3 }\] thats what you get when you solve the formula and when you simplfy you get -1 because -3/3=-1 now plug in the numbers to the slop formula
i'll leave that part to you :3
