Question

What’s the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (-1,1) and has a slope of 4 ?

Answer 1

You can check it by plugging in the point

Answer 2

Answer:

y -1 = 4(x +1)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line with slope m through point (h, k) is ...

y -k = m(x -h)

For m=4 and (h, k) =(-1, 1), the equation is ...

y -1 = 4(x +1)
