Question

Write an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the given points with the given slope

(-10,-1); m= -1


A) y - 1 = (x - 10)

B) y + 10 = -(x + 1)

C) y - 1 = - (x + 10)

D) y + 1 = - (x + 10)

Answer 1

D) y + 1 = - (x + 10)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-10}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad \qquad % slope = m slope = m\implies -1 \\\\\\ % point-slope intercept \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-1)=-1[x-(-10)] \\\\\\ y+1=-(x+10)`
