Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,3) and (3,2)

Answer 1

Answer: y - 2 = - ¹/₅ ( x - 3 )

Explanation:

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)

= (3 - 2) ÷ ( -2 - 3)

= - ¹/₅

We can now use the point-slope form to write the equation for this line:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 2 = - ¹/₅ ( x - 3 )
