Question

What is an equation of the line, in point-slope form, that passes through the point (9, -9) and has a slope of 4?

Please explain how to do this : )

Answer 1

m = 4

Explanation:

slope = 4

Answer 2

`(\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ 4 \\\\\\ \begin{array}ll \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-9)}=\stackrel{m}{ 4}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{9}) \implies y +9= 4 (x -9)`
