Question

Which of the following are point-slope equations of the line going through (-5, 6) and (1, 1)? A. y + 6 = -6/5 (x - 5)
B. y + 1 = 5/6 (x - 1)
C. y - 6 = -6/5 (x + 5)
D. y - 1 = -6/5 (x - 1)
E. y - 1 = -5/6 (x - 1)
F. y - 6 = -5/6 (x + 5)

Answer 1

First find the slope. 
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m= (6-1)/(-5-1)
m = -5/6
