Find the Line Equation: Points (-2,3) and (0,1)

Question

The line passes through the points (2,3),(0,1) (-2,3),(0,1)

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,3)(-2, 3) and (0,1)(0, 1), we use the formula for the slope mm between two points (x1,y1) (x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2) (x_2, y_2) :

m=y2y1x2x1 m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Substituting the given points (x1,y1)=(2,3)(x_1, y_1) = (-2, 3) and (x2,y2)=(0,1)(x_2, y_2) = (0, 1), we have:

m=130(2) m = \frac{1 - 3}{0 - (-2)}

This simplifies to:

m=22 m = \frac{-2}{2}

So, the slope is:

m=1 m = -1

Thus, the slope of the line is 1-1, corresponding to choice 2.

Answer

m=1 m=-1
