Question

A line intersects the points (3,6) and (5, -4). m=-5 write an equation in point-slope form using the point (3,6)y - [?] = __ (x -__)

Answer 1

y -6 = -5(x -3)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

__

substituting given values

You have been given ...

m = -5

(h, k) = (3, 6)

Putting the given values into the point-slope form gives the equation you want:

y -6 = -5(x -3)
