Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line passing through the points (-5, 6) and (0, 1). a) y + 6 = -1(x – 5) b) y – 6 = -1(x + 5) c) y + 6 = 1(x – 5) d) y – 6 = 1(x + 5)

The point slope form:


We need to find the slope. To find the slope we can use the following formula:


Use the points (-5, 6) and (0, 1) and plug it into our slope formula and solve:



So our slope is -1 which means m = slope = -1 
Now that we have our slope lets create the point slope form

Our point slope form equation is Remember 
m = slope = -1. Also, we are going to use the point (-5,6).

First insert the m = slope = -1 number where m is located


Next, insert the -5 from (-5,6) where is located and the 6 from (-5,6) where is located.


Now simplify
