Question

Find an equation of the line that has the given slope and contains the given point.
m=7
(-2,-4)
PLEASE explain how you got your answer

Answer 1

You have a point...and a slope....use the point slope formula

\[\large y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)\]

plug in your points for x0 and y0 and then plug in your slope for 'm'

Answer 2

do you know the point slope form?

Answer 3

it's pretty much plug and chug type of problem

Answer 4

Thank you both! I learned this a while back and for some reason could not remember the point slope formula! THANKS

Answer 5

Anytime :)
