Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (4,−9) and has a slope of 6.

The equation is y−

Answer 1

Explanation:

Okay, so the point-slope form is

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Where m = the slope of the line

and where (x1, y1) is a point on the line

So, if the slope is 6, then m = 6

Now, you plug that and the point (4, -9) into the equation above.

(y -(-9)) = 6(x - 4)

y + 9 = 6(x - 4)

This is the point slope form of the line
