Question

write in point slpoe form an equation of the line that passes through th griven point and has the given slope (1, -3); m = 4

Answer 1

A linear equation in slope-point form looks like this:

y -y0= m(x-x0)

Where m is the slope of the line and (x0,y0) is a point of the line.

In this case, we know that the slope of the line equals 4 and that the line goes through the point (1, -3), then, we can substitute these values into the general form to get:

y-(-3) = 4(x-(1))
