Question

(10 POINTS!)The points (-3, -3) and (-1, 7) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in point-slope

form?

Answer 1

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

or

y+3=5(x+3)

Explanation:

first you need the slope using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1

7-(-3)/-1-(-3)=

7+3/-1+3

10/2=

5

then point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)

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

or

y+3=5(x+3)
