Question

How do you write the point slope form of the equation given (-6,10) and (2,-5)?

Answer 1

The equation of line in point slope form is `y- 10 = -15/8(x+6)`

Explanation:

Slope of line passing through `(-6,10) and (2,-5)` is

`m= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)= (-5-10)/(2+6)=-15/8`

The equation of line passing through `(-6,10)` in point slope

form is `y-y_1=m(x-x_1) or y- 10 = -15/8(x+6)` [Ans]
