Question

Write the equation of the line given the slope and a point on the line. Type your answer in the box without skipping any spaces. m = -4, point (2, -5)

Answer 1

You would use the point-slope form of an equation:\[y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})\]where you are given point (x1, y1) and your slope "m".

Answer 2

(y- - 5) = -4(2-x1)
would that be correct?

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

& that would be y=-4x+3?

Answer 5

yes. Good job!

Answer 6

thanks!
