Complete the point slope equation of the line through (-2,6) and (1,1)

y-1 =( -5/3) (x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope equation for a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point

We need to determine the slope

The formula for slope is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points

m = (1-6)/(1--2)

  = (1-6)/(1+2)

    =-5/3

The slope is -5/3

Now we can substitute the slope into the equation for a line.  We can use either point.  I will use (1,1)

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-1 =( -5/3) (x-1)

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.

you probably already have the answer but anyways it's b. 15.0
