Question

the slope of the line below is -5/7. write a point-slope equation of the line using coordinates of the labeled point.

Answer 1

umm, i think that i'll also need either a coordinate point or the y-intercept to do this

Answer 2

Do you know what point slope is?

Or how to write in point slope form?


If not here:
Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m(x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept).

Why did you capitalize my name like that?

but sure, I guess providing the point slope formula is useful

Answer 5

But I feel like they haven't given us enough information in the question

I know, snowflake already pointed this out.

This question is a multiple choice problem that is testing to see if a student understands the format of point-slope form as well as where the slope is located in such a formula.

Answer 8

ohh ok, well I tried to help.. sorry

thx
