Question

14.

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.
(–3, –7); m = -6/5

A. y – 7 = -6/5(x + 3)
B. y + 3 = -6/5(x + 7)
C. y – 7 = -6/5(x – 3)
D. y + 7 = -6/5(x + 3)

Answer 1

D. y + 7 = -6/5(x + 3)

Explanation:

Answer:

B. y + 7 = -6/5 (x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given slope and point to substitute into the point-slope formula y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 ) .

Slope-intercept form: y = − 6 /5 x − 53 /5

Point-slope form: y + 7 = − 6 /5 ⋅ ( x + 3 )
