Question

Find a point-slope form for the line with slope m and passing through the point (-7, -6).

a) y + 6 = m(x + 7)
b) y - 6 = m(x + 7)
c) y - 7 = m(x + 6)
d) y - 7 = m(x - 6)

Answer 1

The point-slope form for the line is y + 6 = m(x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form for a line passing through the point (-7, -6) with slope m is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substituting the values into the formula:

y - (-6) = m(x - (-7))

Simplifying the equation:

y + 6 = m(x + 7)

Therefore, the correct point-slope form for the line is y + 6 = m(x + 7).
