Answer:
y - 6 = -5/3 ( x + 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope form is y-y1 = m(x-x1) y1 is the y point, x1 is the x point, and m is the slope. Rn we have y-6 already in, so we have to continue with the coordinate they are already using (-2,6)
Inputting the values give us y - 6 = m ( x + 2)
Now to find the slope we take both points given and do y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 or in our case, 1 - 6 / 1 + 2
Now simplify that to get -5/3
-5/3 is the slope.
Putting it all into point-slope form we get
y - 6 = -5/3 ( x + 2 )
I hope that helps u!! :)
