Question

#1 What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1, 6) with a slope of -5? Write the equation in point-slope form.

Answer 1

Point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line. Replacing with m = -5 and point (1, 6) we get:

y - 6 = -5(x - 1)
