What is an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the points (−3,5) and (2,−3) ? a. y − 3 = −5/8(x + 5) b. y − 5 = −8/5(x + 3) c. y − 3 = −8/5(x + 5) d. y − 5 = 8/5(x + 3)

whose power in the senate is equal to the power of the speaker of the house?

step-by-step explanation:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
