The line CD passes through the points C (2, -1) and D (1, 1). Which of the
following represents the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form?

Sagot :

Answer:

The equation of the straight line in point - slope form

y +1 = -2 ( x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given points are C( 2,-1) and D(1,1)

Slope of the line

     [tex]m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } = \frac{1-(-1)}{1-2} = \frac{2}{-1} = -2[/tex]

   m = -2

Step(ii):-

Equation of the straight line passing through the point ( 2,-1) and having slope

m =-2

y - y₁ = m ( x- x₁)

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

y +1 = -2 ( x-2)

Final answer:-

The equation of the straight line

y +1 = -2 ( x-2)
