NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!

Write an equation of the line in point-slope form through each pair of points

(9,5) and (8,2)


a) y+5=3(x+9)
b) y-5=1/3(x-9)
c) y+5=1/3(x+9)
d) y-5=3(x-9)

Answer 1

D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

First find the slope: 2-5/8-9=3 So slope is 3

(y-y1)=m(x-x1) is the point slope formula

plug in the numbers (y-5) = 3(x-9)

y-5 = 3x-27

y=3x-22
