Question

write an equation in point-slope form of the line through point j(-5,6) with slope -4

Answer 1

the form is simply \[(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)\]just plug-in the point(-5,6) and slope m=-4

Answer 2

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
You now have to plug in your values to the equation for point-slope form.
(y-6)=-4(x+5)

Answer 3

What do I do after that? Sorry im very slow when it comes to math.

Answer 4

That's it! (y-6)=-4(x+5) is the equation in point-slope form!

Answer 5

Thank you so much! I have a test tomorrow and that stuff is on there for "review"
