Question

What is the point on the line for the following equation that is in point-slope form (y-y1 =m(x-x1)? Y-9=-2(x-4

Answer 1

(4, 9)

Explanation:

It's all about matching patterns.

y -y1 = m(x -x1)

y -9 = -2(x -4)

When you match the given equation to the form, you see that ...

y1 = 9

m = -2

x1 = 4

The point (x1, y1) is (4, 9).
