Question

What is the equation in point−slope form of the line passing through (−2, −5) and (2, 3)?

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

Answer 1

Find slope y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 3 - (-5) / 2 - (-2) or 8 / 4 or 2. (slope)

Now plug in y - 3 = 2( x - 2) Answer is c.
