Question

1) What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (2, -3) and (5, -4)

2) Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (3, -4) Slope = 6

Answer 1

QUESTION 1: (2, -3) and (5, -4)

Y2 -Y1

X2 -X1

-4 - -3

5 - 2

= - 1

3

QUESTION 2: (3, -4) Slope = 6

About Point Slope Form:

• Y -Y1 = m (x - X1)
• m is the slope
• Y1 & X1 is a point on the line
• The form allows you to identify the slope & the point on the line

Y - -4 = 6 (x - 3)
