Question

Which is the equation of the line, in point-slope form, that has a slope of –4 and passes through the point (7, 1)?

y – 7 = 4(x – 1)
y – 1 = –4(x + 7)
y – 1 = –4(x – 7)
y – 7 = –4(x – 1)

Answer 1

C

Answer 2

\[(y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 3

Here \[(x _{1},y _{1}) is (7,1)\]

Answer 4

and m=-4

Answer 5

m is nothing but the slope

Answer 6

Answer 7

So your answer is C.

Answer 8

(y-7)=-4(x-7)

Answer 9

When you substitute everything you will get (y-7)=-4(x-7)
