Question

Find the point-slope equation for the line that passes through the points (5, 19) and (-5, -1). Use the first point in your equation y - [?] = [](x - [ ]) = ​

Answer 1

`m = (y_ 2 -y_ 1)/(x_ 2 -x_ 1 ) \\ = ( - 1 - 19)/( - 5 - 5) = ( - 2 0 )/( - 10) \\ \therefore \: m = 2 \\ y + 1 = 2(x + 5)`
