Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
(5,4): m = -3

Answer 1

@AriPotta

Answer 2

point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1) where y1 is the y part of the point, x1 is the x part of the point, and m is the slope. so just plug all that in

Answer 3

Y = -3 (x - 5) ?

Answer 4

y - 4 = -3(x - 5)

Answer 5

How did you get y - 4 ?

Answer 6

4 is the y part of the point (5,4) and the formula is y - y1 = m(x - x1). so y - 4

Answer 7

Ohh, okay. Thank you! :)
