Question

Can someone answer ASAP, please? thanks

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (-7 9); m = 4/5

Answer 1

point slope form: y - b = m(x - a)
b = 9
m = 4/5
a = -7 change to positive because it’s subtracting
answer: y - 9 = 4/5(x + 7)

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m =
`(4)/(5)` and (a, b) = (- 7, 9), thus

y - 9 =
`(4)/(5)`(x - (- 7)), that is

y - 9 =
`(4)/(5)`(x + 7) → C
