Question

Write the equation of the line whose slope and the point through which it passes are given. Express

the equation in point-slope form.
(4,0) and slope m=-7

Answer 1

`y-0=-7(x-4)`

Explanation:

Equation of a line

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

`y-k=m(x-h)`

Where m is the slope and (h,k) is a point through which the line passes.

The line passes through the point (4,0) and has a slope of -7. The equation of the line is:

`y-0=-7(x-4)`

This is the point-slope form of the line.
