Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (−3, 2) and (2, 1).

a. y + 3 = −5(x − 2)
b. y − 2 = −5(x + 3)
c. y + 3 = −1/5(x − 2)
d. y − 2 = −1/5(x + 3)

m=y2-y1/x2-x1
m=-1/5
m= -1/5
now u can put any points (−3, 2) and (2, 1). because line passes through both point

eq is

y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-2=- 1/5(x+3)-----------both are the answer

y-1=- 1/5 (x-2)------------
both are the answer

but u have single option so ur answer is d

answer d
