Question

Which of the following are written in point-slope

form?
a) y + 2 = -9(x + 3)
b) y - 7 = 5(x + 1)
c) x - y = -3
d) y = -x +6

Answer 1

y + 2 = -9(x + 3) and y - 7 = 5(x + 1)

Explanation:

`\text{Point-Slope form is:}\\\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\\text{m - slope}\\\\(x_1,y_1) \text{ - a point}`

----------------------------------------

`\text{Options A and B are written in point-slope form.}\\\\\\y+2 =-9(x+3)\\\\\text{The slope is -9 and the point used is (-3, -2).}\\\\\\y-7=5(x+1)\\\\\text{The slope is 5 and the point used is (-1, 7).}`

-----------------------------------------

`\text{Option C is written in Standard Form.}\\\\Ax+By=C\\\\\\\text{Option D is written in Slope-Intercept Form.}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\\text {m - slope}\\\\\text{b - y-intercept}`

Hope this helps.
