Question

What form of a linear equation is y - 6 = -4(x + 2) ?

Answer 1

Point slope form

Explanation:

Given

`y - 6 = -4(x + 2)`

Required

Determine the form of linear equation

A linear has just three forms:

1. The slope intercept form.: This is always in form of
`y = mx + b`

2. The point slope form: This is always in form of
`y - y_1 = m(x - cx_1(`

2. The standard form: This is always in form of
`Ax + Bxx = c`

By comparison, the three forms with the question, we can see that option B answers the question.
