Question

Use the point-slope form to write an equation of the line with the given properties. Leave the answer in point-slope form.
Slope −7; passes through (9, −2)

Answer 1

I got y=-7x+61 but it says its wrong

Answer 2

point slope form is \[\huge\rm y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] where is m is slope and \[\large\rm (x_1,y_1)\] is the the order pair (9,-2)
so plug in!

Answer 3

that's the slope intercept form
but you have to write in `point-slope` form
`Leave the answer in point-slope form`

Answer 4

oh okay thankyou

Answer 5

np :=) let me know if you want me to check ur answer :=)

Answer 6

How do I put it into point-slope form?

Do I just put the answer in it?

Answer 7

this is the point slope form \[\huge\rm y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] where is m is slope and \[\large\rm (x_1,y_1)\] is the the order pair (9,-2)
so substitute m for -7
and (x_1 ,y_1) for (9,-2)
