Question

What’s the point slope form of an equation the has a slope of: (-1/6)

Passes through point: (9,-4)

Answer 1

y + 4 = -⅙(x - 9)

Explanation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-4) = (-1/6)(x - 9)

y + 4 = -⅙(x - 9)

Answer 2

y+4 = -1/6(x-9) point slope

y = -1/6x -2.5 slope intercept

Explanation:

The point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point

y- -4 = -1/6(x-9)

y+4 = -1/6(x-9)

Distribute to get to slope intercept form

y+4 = -1/6x +9/6

y+4 = -1/6x +3/2

Subtract 4 from each side

y+4-4 = -1/6x +3/2 -4

y = -1/6x +3/2 -8/2

y = -1/6x -5/2

y = -1/6x -2.5
