Question

How to find point slope equation from (-1,-10) and (5,2)

Y-2=???

Answer 1

This equation would be y - 2 = 2(x - 5)

Explanation:

In order to find this, we first need to find the slope.

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

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

m = 12/6

m = 2

Now that we have this, we can use this and the point (5, 2) to write the point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 2(x - 5)
