Question

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (-1,-10) and (5,2).
Use exact numbers.
y - 2=

Answer 1

Answer:

y-2 = 2(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points, we use

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)  to get the slope

m = (2--10)/(5--1)

    = (2+10)/(5+1)

    =12/6

    =2

We will write the equation in point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Given that it starts with y-2. we will use the point (5,2)

y-2 = 2(x-5)
