Can someone explain how to solve
What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (3, 6) and (−2, 1)?

y + 6 = 1(x + 3)
y + 1 = −1(x + 2)
y − 6 = −1(x + 3)
y − 6 = 1(x − 3)

Answer 1

do you know the general equation for point slope form?

Answer 2

Afraid not. :s

Answer 3

\[y-y_{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 4

Is it 6 - 1 / 3 - (-2)

Answer 5

that will give you the slope (m)

Answer 6

so then I use y = mx + b

Answer 7

nope.

Answer 8

y=mx+b is standard form. the question wants point-slope form

Answer 9

\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 10

\[(x _{1},y _{1}) = (3,6) or (-2,1)\]

Answer 11

what is the slope (m)?
