Question

Which equation in point-slope form contains the points (0,5) and (5,8)?

A. y - 8 = (x - 5)
B. y - 5 = (x – 8)
c. y - 8 = {(x - 5)
D. y - 5 = (x – 8)

Answer 1

I'm going to assume you pasted the question and answers and the fractions for the slope didn't come up.

Solve for the slope using the given values.

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 8-5/5-0

= 3/5

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Using the point (5, 8) and the slope (3/5), it should look like:

y - 8 = 3/5(x - 5)

Best of Luck!
