Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 6.
A.
y-1=6(x+5)
B.
y+5=6(x-1)
C.
y+1=6(x-5)
D.
y-5=6(x+1)

Answer 1

y-y1=m(x-x1)
where
m=slope
(x1,y1) is your point igven to you.

Answer 2

Point-slope form: y − b = m(x − a) for a point (a, b) and slope m
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, for slope m and y-intercept b

Answer 3

general form is
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
where m = slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

Answer 4

so you have
m = 6
x1 = 5 and y1 = -1

so now you should be able to pick the correct choice
