Question

hat is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (5, −3) and (−2, 9) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y+3 = -12/7 (x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (9--3)/(-2-5)

m = (9+3)/(-2-5)

m=12/-7

m=-12/7

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--3 = -12/7(x-5)

y+3 = -12/7 (x-5)
