Question

Write an equation of a line in point- slope form for the line that passes through A(-2, -2) and B(4,1)

Answer 1

Step 1: Find the slope using
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`:

`m= (1-(-2))/(4-(-2)) = (3)/(6) = (1)/(2)`

Step 2: Plug the slope and one-point into point-slope form
`y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)`:

Let's use (4,1) since there's no negative involved. That makes it easier:

`y-1 = (1)/(2)(x-4)`
