PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the equation in point−slope form of the line passing through (1, 2) and (2, 5)?


(y − 2) = −3(x − 1)


(y − 2) = 3(x − 1)


(y − 1) = −3(x − 2)


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

Respuesta :

Answer: (y-2)=3(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The first thing you'll need to do is to find the slope of the line passing through (1,2) and (2,5). To find the slope of the line, use this formula: y2-y1/x2-x1and subsitute in the values

5-2/2-1= 3/1 =3

The slope(m) is 3, so that cuts down to two options. All you need to do now is to put in in slope- intercept form by using this:

(y-y1)=m(x-x1) <--- subsitute in values

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