Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (0, 5) and (_2, 11)?

Answer 1

i hope this helps you



slope. (0-(-2))=5-11


slope. 2= -6


slope = -3

Answer 2

Point (0,5) lies on the y-axis. Therefore, y-intercept is 5 (n=5). A line passes through the point (-2,11). Therefore, x=-2 and y=11. Substitute these values in the equation of line to find slope m.


`y=mx+n \\11=m(-2)+5 \\6=-2m \\m=-3`

The equation of line is
`y=-3x+5`
