Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(-4,6); m = 3/4

A.) y - 6 = 3/4x + 4
B.) y - 6 = 3/4(x - 4)
C.) y - 6 = 3/4(x + 4)
D.) y + 6 = 3/4(x + 4)

Answer 1

C.)
`\displaystyle y - 6 = (3)/(4)(x + 4)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Point-Slope Formula [y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)], all the negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY CAREFUL inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT SIGNS.
