Question

Find a point-slope form for the line that satisfies the stated conditions.

Slope 5, passing through (-4,1)
The equation of the line in point-slope form is
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in point-slope form.)

Answer 1

(y - 1) = 5(x - 5)

Explanation:

The point-slope point of a line is:

(y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)

where 'm' represents the slope (in this case it is 5) and the x-and-y values come from the point, in this case (-4,1)

Substitute: (y - 1) = 5(x - 5)
