Question

Write in point-slope form an equation of the line that passes through the point (−2,4) with slope −12.

1.y−4=−12(x−2)

2.y−4=−12(x+2)

3.y+2=−12(x−4)

4.y=−12x+3

Answer 1

Answer: y - 4 = -12 ( x + 2)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point - slope form is given as :

`y-y_(1)` = m(
`x-x_(1)` )

Where m is the slope and (
`x_(1)` ,
`y_(1)`) is the given point

substituting the values into the formula , we have:

y - 4 = -12 ( x - {-2})

y - 4 = -12 ( x + 2)
