Question

Given point (-6, -3) and a slope of 4, write an equation in point-slope form

Answer 1

y = 4x + 21

Explanation:

Hello!

Point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y1 is the y point

x1 is the x point

m is the slope

Put in what you know

y - -3 = 4(x - -6)

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding

y + 3 = 4(x + 6)

Distribute the 4

y + 3 = 4x + 24

Subtract 3 from both sides

y = 4x + 21

The answer is y = 4x + 21

Hope this helps!
