Question

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 4/5 that contains the point (-2, 1)?​

Answer 1

`y-1 = (4)/(3)(x+2)`

Explanation:

To write the equation of the line, use the formula for point slope
`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`. Substitute m = 4/5 and the point (-2,1).

`y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y-1 = (4)/(3)(x--2)\\y-1 = (4)/(3)(x+2)`
