Question

Which equation is a point slope form equation for line AB ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-5=\frac{3}{4}(x-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a line in point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

step 1

Find the slope m

we have the points

A(-2,-1),B(6,5)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{5+1}{6+2}$

$m=\frac{6}{8}$

simplify

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line

we have

$(x1,y1)=(6,5)$

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

substitute

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

$y-5=\frac{3}{4}(x-6)$
