Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line with slope m=6 that passes through the point (-1 , 9). Without doing any calculations, what are the values of m, x0, and y0 in point slope form.

M=
x0=
y0=
y=

Answer 1

Explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is given by: y - y0 = m (x - x0), where m is the slope of the line and (x0, y0) is a point on the line.

Given the point (-1, 9) and the slope m = 6, we can write an equation in point-slope form as follows:

y - 9 = 6 (x + 1)

y = 6x + 15

So, m = 6, x0 = -1, and y0 = 9.
