Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (–10, –6); m = (1 point) Responses y – 6 = (x – 10) y – 6 = Image with alt text: negative five-eighths ( x – 10) y – 6 = (x + 10) y – 6 = Image with alt text: negative five-eighths ( x + 10) y + 6 = (x + 10) y + 6 = Image with alt text: negative five-eighths ( x + 10) y + 10 = (x + 6) y + 10 = Image with alt text: negative five-eighths ( x + 6)
The correct equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point (-10, -6) with a slope of is:
y - (-6) = (x - (-10))
Simplifying this equation gives:
y + 6 = x + 10
that is wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's correct it.
The equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point (-10, -6) with a slope of -5/8 is:
y - (-6) = (-5/8)(x - (-10))
Simplifying:
y + 6 = (-5/8)(x + 10)
