A line has a slope of 7 and contains the point (5, −9). Which equations represent the line? Choose all answers that are correct. A. −7x + y = −44 B. 7x – y = 44 C. (y − 9) = 7(x + 5) D. (y + 9) = 7(x − 5)
@iGreen
I can help
@horsegirl27
please do
First of all I think it's B or C let me work on it. You try it too and tell me what u get
k
We use the point-slope form.. \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) Where \(y_1\) is the y-value of the point, \(x_1\) is the x-value of the point, and \(m\) is the slope. Here, \(y_1\) is -9, \(x_1\) is 5, and \(m\) is 7. Plug them in what do you get?
i got B
@horsegirl27 Please don't give answers..we have to guide the asker to the answer.
but idk the second answer
ok sorry u already explained so I was confirming the final answer ;)
B is incorrect..
but using the point slope form you'll have: (y-y1) = m(x-x1) y - (-9) = 7(x -5) y + 9 = 7(x - 5) or y + 9 = 7x - 35 7x - y = 9 + 35 7x - y = 44 or multiplying the whole equation with -1 7x - y = 44 -7x + y = -44
???????????????????
Yep, -7x + y = -44 is correct.. And so is y + 9 = 7(x - 5)
y + 9 = 7(x - 5) Distribute 7 into the parenthesis: y + 9 = 7x - 35 Subtract 9 to both sides: y = 7x - 44 Subtract 7x to both sides: -7x + y = -44
so A and D?

k thx
but theres 2 right answers
Yeah, i'd go with A and D.
k thx soooo much
