Question

Has a slope of 4/5 and passes through point (-5,12)
Write equation in point slope form.

Answer 1

y = (4/5)x + 16

Point-slope form:

y - 12 = (4/5)(x + 5)

Explanation:

slope = m; (-5, 12)

m = (4/5) (x₁, y₁)

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 12 = (4/5)(x - (-5))

y - 12 = (4/5)(x + 5)

y - 12 = (4/5)x + 4

+12 +12

--------------------------

y = (4/5)x + 16

I hope this helps!
