Question

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?

Point: (1, –7); Slope -1/2

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

a y + 7 =2/3 (x + 1)

Answer 3

y –7 =-2/3 (x + 1)

Answer 4

y –7 =2/3 (x – 1)

Answer 5

y + 7 =-2/3 (x – 1)

Answer 6

y+7 =-1/2(x-1)
y = -1/2x-13/2

Answer 7

Answer 8

y - y1 = m(x - x1) <-- point slope form
(1,-7) x1 = 1 and y1 = -7
m = -1/2

now just sub
y - (-7) = -1/2(x - 1)
y + 7 = -1/2(x - 1) ---your answer

did you make a mistake when writing the problem ? Is the slope -1/2 or is it 2/3 ?

Answer 9

2/3

Answer 10

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = 2/3
(1,-7) x1 = 1 and y1 = -7
now just sub
y - (-7) = 2/3(x - 1)
y + 7 = 2/3(x - 1) <== your answer
