Question

Writing an equation in Point-Slope Form

Write the point-slope form of the equation for a line that passes through (6, -1) with a slope of 2.​

Answer 1

Answer: y - (-1) = 2(x-6) which is basically y + 1 = 2(x - 6)

Explanation:

Disregard my explanation, its in the wrong form

Point-slope form is y = mx + b

They gave us m, 2. And they gave us the coords, (6, -1)

All you have to do is plug this info in to get:

`-1=2(6)+b\\-1=12+b\\b=-13`

Answer 2

y+1 = 2(x-6)

Explanation:

We have a point (6,-1) and a slope m=2

The point slope form of a line is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y- -1 = 2(x-6)

y+1 = 2(x-6)
