Question

Medal!!!! and Fan!!! PLEASE help!!!!
1.Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
Point: (–3, 7); Slope: 4
A.y – 7 = 4(x – 3)
B.y – 7 = 4(x + 3)
C.y + 7 = 4(x + 3)
D.y + 7 = 4x – 12
2.Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
Point: (2, -6); Slope: 4
A.y-6= -3/4 (x+2)
B.y-6= -3/4 (x-2)
C.y+6= -3/4 (x+2)
D.y+6= -3/4 (x-2)

Answer 1

the point slope form is

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m = slope and (x1,y1) is the given point

Answer 2

for question 1 replace m by 4
y1 by 7 and x1 by -3

Answer 3

question 2 is similar

Answer 4

so it would be y-7=4 (x-3)

Answer 5

no be careful of the signs x = -3
so the parentheses part is (x - (-3))

Answer 6

Oh okay thank you!
and 2 would be..... hold on im gonna try to figure out 2 and tell me if im right, Thank you so much im starting to get it :D

Answer 7

theres something wrong with question 2:- if the slope is 4 then -3/4 is wrong

Answer 8

maybe the slope should be -3/4 ( in the question that is)

Answer 9

B is the correct answer to question 1

Answer 10

i can't figure out question 2 can you walk me through it please and thank you :)

Answer 11

i think 2 is a but im not sure

Answer 12

as i say the answers don't match the question
if we assume that the question is wrong (about the slope) and options are right

then we replace m (the slope) by -3/4, x1 by 2 and y1 by -6

we get

y -(-6) = -3/4(x - 2)
y + 6 = -3/4 (x - 2)

Answer 13

OHH sorry the slope for number 2 is -3/4

Answer 14

so if the slope is -3/4 th answer would be A.?
