Question

stabdard form of a line passing through (-2,7) and a slope of -3/5

Answer 1

y - y1 = m(x -x1)

Answer 2

You can use the formula $$ (y - y_1) = m(x-x_1) $$

Plug in -2 for x1, 7 for y1, and (-3/5) for m.

Carry over y1 to the other side, and simplify.

Answer 3

thank yall! :)

Answer 4

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
&({\color{red}{ -2}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 7}})\quad
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= -\cfrac{3}{5}
\\ \quad \\

y-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}={\color{green}{ m}}(x-{\color{red}{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values and move everything to the left}\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}\)
