Question

the slope of the line below is -5/7. write a point slope equation ifbthe line useing the coordinates labled,(6,2)​

Answer 1

`y-2=-(5)/(7)(x-6)`

Explanation:

The point slope formula is
`y-y1=m(x-x1)`.

(x1,y1) is one point on the line. 6 would be x1 and 2 would be y2.

m is the slope. The question says that the slope of the line would be -5/7.

After plugging in the cordinates and slope of the line in the formula, we should get:

`y-2=-(5)/(7)(x-6)`
