Question

Which answer is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?

Point (1, 9), Slope: 5

(A) y - 9 = 5(x + 1)
(B) y+9 -5(x - 1)
(C) y-9=5(x - 1)
(D) y-1-5(x +9)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Point-slope equation for line of slope m that passes through (x₀,y₀):

y-y₀ = m(x-x₀)

In your case, m=5 and (x₀,y₀)=(1,9):

y-9 = 5(x-1)
