Select the proper equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope.

Point: (7, 4); Slope: 6

y – 7 = 6(x + 4)
y – 4 = 6(x – 7)
y – 4 = 6(x + 7)
y + 4 = 6(x – 7)

Question

Select the proper equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope.

Point: (7, 4); Slope: 6

       y – 7 = 6(x + 4)
       y – 4 = 6(x – 7)
       y – 4 = 6(x + 7)
       y + 4 = 6(x – 7)

Do you still remember point slope-form.
$$y-y _{1} = m(x-x _{2})$$
Just plug in the values.

anonymous · Answer

Kind of? I'm kind of brain dead- It's one am where ia m

yttrium · Answer

y1 = 4
x1 = 7
m = 6
Then what should be the answer?

anonymous · Answer

??

anonymous · Answer

I'm still confused @Yttrium

yttrium · Answer

With the form I've mention upward^
and thru the givens. We can solve for its equation.
y-y1 = m (x-x1) right?
hence,
y - 4 = 6 (x-7)
that's it. :)

anonymous · Answer

y-4=6 (x+7) ?????

anonymous · Answer

ooooooooooh its (x-7) thats what confused me

anonymous · Answer

thanks a bunch c: @Yttrium

yttrium · Answer

No problem anyway.
