Question

A line intersects the points
(-4, 5) and (-6, 3).
Write an equation in point-slope form
using the point (-4, 5).
y- [?]=l(«-)

Answer 1

Answer:

y -y1 = m(x-x1)  (this is point slope form)

find the slope using the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (plug in the points)

(-4,5) is point 1 and (-6,3) is point 2

(3-5)/(-6-(-4))

-2/ -2

1 (this is the slope)

and then plug in all the things you know

y - 5 = 1 ( x - ( -4))
