Question

What is the point slope equation of the line with slope -13 that goes through the point (5,7)

Answer 1

It should be A. y-7 = -13(x-5)

Answer 2

Answer: A.
`(y-7)=-13(x-5)`

Explanation:

We know that the equation of a line having slope m and passing thorough (a,b) in point slope form is given by :-

`(y-b)=m(x-a)`

Given : Slope of a line : m=-13 and point =(5,7)

Similarly, the point slope equation of the line with slope -13 that goes through the point (5,7) is given by :-

`(y-7)=-13(x-5)`
