Question

Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (-1.2, -5.6) and has a slope of -2.9

Answer 1

`y+5.6 = -2.9 (x + 1.2)`

Explanation:

Equation of straight line in point slope form is given as

`y -y_1 = m(x- x_1)` -------------(1)

Here

`m =-2.9` and
`(x_1, y_1) = (-1.2, -5.6)`

Substituting values in equation (1)

`y+5.6 = -2.9 (x + 1.2)`
