Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, 5) and (-1, 4). Include your work in your final answer.

Answer 1

y-5=-1/2(x+3)

Explanation:

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

m=(4-5)/(-1-(-3))

m=-1/(-1+3)

m=-1/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-5=-1/2(x-(-3))

y-5=-1/2(x+3)
