Question

What 4x+4y=-5 in general form,and point slope form?

Answer 1

The equation

`Ax+By+C=0`

is said to be the general form for the equation of a line.

Then in this case the general form is:

`4x+4y+5=0`

A line is said to be in point slope form if it is written as:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

In this case we have:

`\begin{gathered} 4x+4y=-5 \\ x+y=-(5)/(4) \\ y=-x-(5)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Therefore the equation is point slope form is:

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