Answer 3

Oh man I for got point slope for is that y = mx + b?

Answer 4

x + 1 = 3(y – 5)
x – 5 = 3(y + 1)
y – 5 = 3(x + 1)
y + 1 = 3(x – 5)

Answer 5

Nerp totally forgot that lol

Answer 6

point slope form would be

y - k = m(x - h)

where
m = slope
and point (h, k) is a point on the line

Answer 7

so you can plug in
m = 3
h = (-1)
k = 5

Answer 8

so y-5=3(x-1)

Answer 9

Would it be c?

Answer 10

be careful with plugging in the (-1) for h!

and yes, C would be correct :)

Answer 11

Thanks so much. but how does the negative 1 turn into a positive 1.

Answer 12

because in the formula:
\( y - k = m(x - h)\)
^ the minus here turns the (-1) that you plug in
into (+1)
[negative times negative = positive]

Thank you!
