Question

Circle describe and correct each error Graph y+1=-2(x+4)using point slope form Point =(4,1)M=-2

Answer 1

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given function

`\begin{gathered} y+1=2(x+4) \\ point=(4,1) \\ m=-2 \end{gathered}`

STEP 2: Write the formula for point-slope form

`(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)`

STEP 3: Graph the given function

STEP 4: Identify the error

By substituting the given points, the point slope form will be:

`\begin{gathered} Using\text{ points }(4,1)\text{ and slope -2} \\ (y-1)=-2(x-4) \\ y-1=-2(x-4) \end{gathered}`

From above, we can see that the point on the graph should be (-4,-1) to get the point-slope form for the given function, therefore the error is the point (x,y) that is of the negative sign.
