Question

Write an equation in point-slope form -2,-5 4,-1

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the slope

m = Δy/Δx = (-1 - (- 5)) / (4 - (-2)) = 4/6 = 2/3

Then plug either point into the equation

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y + 1 = 2/3(x - 4)

which is equivalent to

y + 5 = 2/3(x + 2)
