Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(4, –6); m = 3/5

Answer 1

need help to find this answer

Answer 2

I point slope form is y=mx+b and what you've got is (x,y) m=slope then all you have to do is put it in order.

Answer 3

ohh ok so would the answer be Y- 4= 3/5 (x+6) ????

Answer 4

Good try but it would be more like -6=3/5+4

Answer 5

Y-6 = 3/5 (X + 4)
OR
Y +6 = 3/5 (X-4)

Answer 6

Since you don't need to change any signs the first one would be correct. You don't need the y at the beginning because the (-6) is a y coordinates.

Answer 7

ok that makes sense now :) thank you

Answer 8

No problem
