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)

Use the formula,


$$\huge\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

Where,

$$\huge\ (x_1,y_1)=(5,-1),m=6$$

Similar Problem:


Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (16, -5) with a slope of 3.


m = 3

(x1, y1) = (16, -5)
x1 = 16
y1 = -5 


Equation:


y - y1 = m(x - x1)


y - (-5) = 3(x - 16)


y + 5 = 3(x - 16)

This is just an example, not the answer to your question (it's very similar though)

anonymous · Answer

okay so i just plug the #s in right @hba

hba · Answer

Yeah right :)

Easy as that :)

anonymous · Answer

okay so were does the extra y and x come in? if i only have a slope and one set of coordinates ??

hba · Answer

Let the y and x be as they are.

anonymous · Answer

so y-1=6(x+5)

hba · Answer

No,
