What is the equation in point−slope form of the line passing through (−2, −5) and (2, 3)?
a) (y + 2) = −2(x + 5)
b) (y − 2) = 2(x − 3)
c) (y − 3) = 2(x − 2)
d) (y + 3) = −2(x + 2)

Find slope   y2 - y1 / x2 - x1   3 - (-5) / 2 - (-2)    or 8 / 4 or 2. (slope)

Now plug in  y - 3 = 2( x - 2)   Answer is c.

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
