Question

A line passes through (4,-5) and had a slope of 5/2. Write an equation in point-slope form for this line

Answer 1

y + 5 = 5/2(x - 4)

Explanation:

Use the point slope equation: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a known point and m is the slope.

Plug in the values:

y + 5 = 5/2(x - 4)

So, the equation is y + 5 = 5/2(x - 4)

Answer 2

y+5 = 5/2( x -4)

Explanation:

Point slope form of a line is

( y-y1) = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and ( x1 ,y1) is a point on the line

y --5 = 5/2( x -4)

y+5 = 5/2( x -4)
