Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line graphed below using the right-hand point.

a. y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
b. y - y₁ = mx + x₁
c. y = mx + b
d. y + y₁ = mx - x₁

Answer 1

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). The point-slope form of an equation represents a relationship between the coordinates of a point on the line (x₁, y₁) and the slope (m) of the line. By using the right-hand point, we substitute its coordinates into the equation to get the final form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).
