Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point

(10,-16) with slope 2.

Answer 1

y + 16 = 2(x - 10)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = 2 and (a, b ) = (10, - 16 ) , then

y - (- 16) = 2(x - 10) , that is

y + 16 = 2(x - 10)
