Question

Find the equation of the line with slope 7 which goes through the point (−2,−9).

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ 7 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-9)}=\stackrel{m}{ 7}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)}) \implies y +9= 7 (x +2) \\\\\\ y+9=7x+14\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=7x+5 \end{array}}`
