Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-5, 1) with a slope of three halves.

y - 5 = three halves(x + 1)

y + 1 = three halves(x - 5)

y + 5 = -three halves(x - 1)

y - 1 = three halves(x + 5)

Answer :

Correct answer is D.

Use equation of line which passes through the point [tex]A(x_1,y_1)[/tex].
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]A(-5,1) \Rightarrow x_1=-5,y_1=1 \\ m= \frac{3}{2} \\ \\y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\y-1= \frac{3}{2} (x-(-5)) \\y-1=\frac{3}{2} (x+5) [/tex]
