Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through point (-1,5) and has the slope m=4

Answer 1

The point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point through which the line with slope m passes. Therefore, with m= -4, point P(-1,5) the equation is

(y-5)= -4(x - -1) (y-5)=-4(x+1)
