Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m.

(-9,2); m = 6
The equation of the line is
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in point-slope form.)

Answer 1

y - 2 = 6(x + 9)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-9, 2)

Slope m = 6

Step 2: Write Function

Substitute variables into the general form.

y - 2 = 6(x + 9)
