Write the equation in point slope form for a line that passes through the points (-2,3) and (6,-1)

y - 3 = -1/2(x + 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Algebra I

Slope Formula:

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-2, 3)

Point (6, -1)

Step 2: Find slope m

Step 3: Write linear equation

Point-Slope Form:   y - 3 = -1/2(x + 2)

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
