Question

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?   point: (–2, 4); slope: 5 y – 4 = 5(x – 2) y – 4 = 5(x 2) y 4 = 5x – 10 y 4 = 5(x 2)

Answer 1

The point-slope formula is y - y1 = m( x - x1 ). In this case, y1 represents the y-coordinate of the point, m represents the slope, and x1 represents the x-coordinate of the point. To solve, all we need to do is plug in our given point and slope.

y - 4 = 5( x + 2 )
