Question

which equation is the equation of the line in point slope form that has a slope of 12 and passes through the point (-1,14)

Answer 1

Solution y - y1 = m(x-x1) y-14 = 12(x--1) » y-14 = 12x+12 y = 12x +26

Answer 2

y - 14 = 12( x + 1)

the equation of a line in ' point - slope form ' is

y - b = m(x - a) → (m is slope and (a, b) a point on the line)

here m = 12 and (a , b) = ( - 1, 14)

y - 14 = 12(x - (-1)) ⇒ y - 14 = 12( x + 1)
