What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (3, 6) and (-2, 1)?
y + 6 = 1(x + 3)
y + 1 = -1(x + 2)
y - 6 = -1(x + 3)
y - 6 = 1(x - 3)
Solution:
Given points are (x1, y1) = (3, 6)
(x2, y2) = (-2, 1)
Slope, m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= (1 - 6)/(-2 - 3)
= (-5)/(-5)
m = 1
Equation of line in slope point form is (y - y1) = m (x - x1) .
If (x1, y1) = (3, 6),
Equation is (y - 6) = 1(x - 3).
Therefore, the equation in point-slope form is (y - 6) = 1(x - 3).
What is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (3, 6) and (-2, 1)?
Summary:
The equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (3, 6) and (-2, 1) is (y - 6) = 1(x - 3).
