Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope: point: (-7, 5) slope: 3

Answer 1

y - 5 = 3(x + 7)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = 3 and (a, b ) = (- 7, 5 ) , then

y - 5 = 3(x - (- 7) ) , that is

y - 5 = 3(x + 7)
