Question

2. Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope.

a. Point= (5,3), slope= 4/5


b. Point= (-3,-2), slope= -2/3

Answer 1

b. y + 2 = −⅔(x + 3)

a. y - 3 = ⅘(x - 5)

Explanation:

According to the Point-Slope Formula, y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY REALLY ARE, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
