Question

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (−1, −3) and has a slope of 4?

Answer 1

Answer: y + 3 = 4 (x +1 )

Explanation:

The eqution 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 - (-3) = 4 ( x - {-1) )

y + 3 = 4 ( x + 1)

This is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
