Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 6.

Answer 1

Point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = 6, x1 = 5, y1 = -1
y - (-1) = 6(x - 5)
y + 1 = 6(x - 5) is the point slope form of the equation.

Answer 2

Whoops! Copied that as a 2 instead of a 5, my bad

Answer 3

(x0,y0)→(2,−1)

Slope=m=6


Point Slope form:
y−y0=m(x−x0)

So:
y+1=6(x−2)

y+1=6x−12

And finally:
y=6x−29

Answer 4

I think they want the answer in point-slope form and not slope-intercept form.

Answer 5

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
&(5\quad ,&-1)
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = m= 6\\ \quad \\

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\) plug and chug =)
