Question

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


y-1=6(x+5)

y+5=6(x-1)

y-5=6(x+1)

y+1=6(x-5)

Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
% (a,b)
&({\color{red}{ 5}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -1}})\quad
% (c,d)
\end{array}
\\\quad \\
% slope = m
slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies6
\\ \quad \\
% point-slope intercept
y-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}={\color{green}{ m}}(x-{\color{red}{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values}\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}\)

Answer 2

@jdoe0001 what is the answer, I can't get it

Answer 3

All you need to do is plus in 5 and -1

Answer 4

@royalranger so want is the answer

Answer 5

@DoodleDuck8 ...
@jdoe0001 posted the equation for "point-slope form"
The question gives you a point & the slope (aka m)
All you need to do is plug in the values into the point-slope form set up

Answer 6

And @DoodleDuck8
idk what is the answer? XD
