Question

Find the "point-slope" form equation of the line with slope m = -5 and through the point (2, 7) the point slope form of a line as: y = m ( x - xp) + yp

Answer 1

ok so i write the point slope form a little bit differently but it is the same thing
\[y=m(x-x_{1})+y_{1}\]
so you have m which is the slope and you have a point
\[(x_{1},y_{1})\]

Answer 2

plug them in
\[y=-5(x-2)+7\]
and then solve
\[y=-5x+10+7\]
\[y=-5x+17\]
