Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(5, 1); m = 4

A. y + 1 = 4(x – 5)

B. y – 1 = 4(x – 5)

C. y – 1 = 4(x + 5)

D. y + 1 = 4(x + 5)

Answer 1

Be right back.

Answer 2

The equation of a line in "point-slope" form is used whenever you have a point, and a slope. It looks like this:

y - y1 = m(x - x1).

Here, (x1, y1) is a point and m is the slope. In your case, (x1, y1) = (5, 1) and m = 4.

Give it a shot.
