Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 6.

Answer 1

Have you tried using the point-slope formula? \(\large y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \) ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

What do you need help with specifically? Plugging in the information?

Answer 4

yea

Answer 5

Relating to the equation: \(m=slope \) and the coordinates (5, -1) are \((x_{1}, y_{1})\)

Answer 6

okay

Answer 7

So just plug them in.. \(\Large y-(-1)=6(x-5) \)

Answer 8

Oh i got it thanks so much (:
