mind posting one question at a time please ???

You have your coordinates:$$\large (x_1,y_1)$$ Point-Slope Formula:$$\large y - y _{1}= m(x - x_1)$$So you would plug in the values. The point you have is (4,-4). Which is x1 and which is y1?

@Jazy I keep getting 0

anonymous · Answer

Oh and "m" is the slope.

anonymous · Answer

You shouldn't be getting a number as your answer. Are you plugging in the values?

anonymous · Answer

x1 = 4
y1 = -4
m = 4

y - (-4)= (4)(x-4)

Does that make sense?

@jazy that makes sense. so idk why i keep ending up with zero
