Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 6.
Answer

y-1=6(x+5)

y+5=6(x-1)

y+1=6(x-5)

y-5=6(x+1)

Answer 1

do you have an answer?

Answer 2

? No?

Answer 3

the answers are up there i dont know which one is right though haha

Answer 4

point slope form is \[\Huge y - y_1 = m (x-x_1)\]

Answer 5

x1 is the x coordinate
y1 is the y coordinate
m is the slope

Answer 6

do you still need more help?

Answer 7

yeah ha

Answer 8

try substituting..what's the x coordinate in the problem?

Answer 9

5

Answer 10

??

Answer 11

correct. what's the y-coordinate?

Answer 12

-1

Answer 13

and the slope?

Answer 14

6

Answer 15

good. so now what is the point slope form?

Answer 16

would M be the slope?

Answer 17

would it be y+5=6(x-1)

Answer 18

nope...remember y - y1 = 6(x-x1)

what you did is y - x1 = 6(x-y1)

Answer 19

5 is x coordinate
-1 is y coordinate

Answer 20

OH! so its y-1=6(x+5)
