Need help ASAP for my homework assignment!! If you answer right Ill mark you Brainliest!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 1 = $\frac{3}{4}$(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 2)

m = $\frac{2+1}{5-1}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

Using (a, b) = (1, - 1), then

y - (- 1) = $\frac{3}{4}$(x - 1), that is

y + 1 = $\frac{3}{4}$(x - 1)

Answer 2

The slope of the line is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

$\frac{y-y1}{x-x1 }= \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} }$

From given point (1, -1) and (5, 2)

$\frac{y-(-1)}{x-5} = \frac{2-(-1)}{5-1}$

or, $\frac{y+1}{x-5} =\frac{3}{4}$

Hope it helps you
