Question

Write the equation of the line given the slope and a point on the line. m = -4, point (2, -5)

Answer 1

plug in those given to the formula
y-y1=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1)=2,-5) and m=-4, lets see what you get

Answer 2

y-(-5)=-4x-2

Answer 3

hmm theres a little slpped on the right hand side m(x-x1)

Answer 4

never mind its just the bracket thing there lol..:D
y-(-5)=-4(x-2) is it?
y+5 isnt it?

Answer 5

so my answer would be y-(-5)=-4(x-2)?

Answer 6

thats also correct but you have to simplify them too..
like this one y-(-5)=y+5
and then multiply to simplify this -4(x-2)

Answer 7

so then it would be y+5(-6x)?

Answer 8
