Question

Write an equation of the line which has the given slope and passes through the given point. m= -5; (9,1)

Answer 1

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is good for this. It tells you the line with slope m through point (h, k) has equation

... y -k = m(x -h)

For your point and slope, an equation of the line is

... y -1 = -5(x -9)
