Question

write (-3, -5) (-1, -19) in point slope form

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope Form:  (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Step 1:  Find Slope

m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

m = $\frac{-19 - (-5)}{-1 - (-3)}$

m = $\frac{-19 + 5}{-1 + 3}$

m = $\frac{-14}{2}$

m = -7

Step 2:  Put into point slope form

Point Slope Form:  (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

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

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