Question

Write the point-slope equation for each line with the given slope and point. y –y1 = m(x – x1) Slope = 5 Point on line = (–1, 3)

Answer 1

`y-3=5(x+1)`

Explanation:

Point-Slope form is:
`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

'm' - Slope

(x1, y1) - Point Coordinate

We are given the point of (-1,3) and the slope of 5.

Replace 'm' with 5, 'x1' with -1, and 'y1' with 3:

`y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow\boxed{y-3=5(x+1)}`
