Question

write an equation in point-slope form of the line through the point j(4,1) with slope -4

Answer 1

Using point-slope form to figure this out.
y1-y=m(x-x1)
y-1=-4(x-4)
y-1=-4x+16
+1
y=-4x=17.

Answer 2

@halorazer the form is y-y1=m(x-x1), not y1-y=m(x-x1).

Answer 3

$$\huge y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$$

Answer 4

and that is the equation in point-slope form?...

Answer 5

Answer 6

Substitute the values given in the question into the formula.

Answer 7

write an equation in point-slope form of the line through the point j(4,1) with slope -4

$$j(x_0, y_0)$$ slope = m

Answer 8

What do you get @tallymark124 ?
