Question

How do I solve/put this in point slope form?

(-3,-2) (5,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

Considering you know two points, you will need to find the slope.

To find the slope you will use the equation added.

3 - (-2) = 3 + 2 = 5

5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8

m = 5/8

Next you will use the point slope form equation.

Adding first point:

y - (-2) = m( x - (-3) )

Adding second point:

3 - (-2) = m( 5 - (-3) )

Adding slope:

3 + 2 = 5/8( 5+3 )

Solving sides / Check:

3 + 2 = 5/8( 8 )

5 = 5
