Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (2, 5) and (–1, 8)?

Answer 1

theirs a app named Mathway, and photomath

Answer 2

The slope:m=
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (8-5)/(-1-2)= (3)/(-3)=-1`
Then the point slope form of the line is:
y - y1 = m ( x- x1), for the point ( 2, 5 ) or x1=2, y1=5
y - 5 = - ( x - 2 )
Thank you.
