Question 1064713: The line AB↔ passes through the points A(−3,6) and B(5,−2).
Which equations could be for AB↔ in point-slope form?
y+2=x−5
y−6=x+3
y−2=−(x−1)
y=−x+3
y+2=−(x−5)
y−6=−4(x+3)
y+2=−4(x−5)
y−6=−(x+3)
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope is (-2-6)/(5-(-3)=-8/8=-1
There are two equations that can be written.
y+2=-1(x-5), or y+2=-x+5 or y=-x+3. The fourth and fifth one work.
The other equation is y-6= -1(x+3), or y-6=-x-3 or y=-x+3. The fourth one and the last one would work.
--------------------
Strictly speaking, point slope form would be
y+2=-1(x-5),
and
y-6= -1(x+3),
There is some ambiguity in how the question is worded, since point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)
