Question

Which of the following are point-slope equations of the line going through (3, 6) and (1, 2)? Check all apply

A.	y - 2 = -(x + 6)

B.

y - 4 = -(x - 1)

C.

y - 6 = -(x + 2)

D.

y + 4 = -(x + 1)

E.

y - 2 = -(x + 6)

F.

y + 4 = -(x + 1)

Answer 1

“Which of the following are point-slope equations

of the line going through (3, 6) and (1, 2)?”

(x1,y1) = (3, 6), (x2,y2) = (1, 2)

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

m = (6 - 2)/(3 - 1) = 4/2 = 2

So valid point-slope equations would be:

y - 6 = 2 ( x - 3) or y - 2 = 2 ( x - 1)

neither of which is listed in the “Answers”.
