Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope.

(-7,9);m=4/5
A. y+7=4/5 (x-9)
B. y-7=4/5(x+9) _My answer_
C.y-9=4/5(x+7)
D.y+9=4/5(x-7)

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

Given this, M = slope.
Therefore, the equation is
Y - 9 = 4/5(x + 7)

I see you're working with point-slope form! That's great, let's solve this problem together.

Given that the point is (-7,9) and the slope is 4/5, we can use point-slope form which is:

(y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)

Now, let's plug in the values.

Using the point (-7,9), x₁ = -7 and y₁ = 9.

Plugging these values into our equation, we get:

(y - 9) = (4/5)(x - (-7))

Simplifying further:

(y - 9) = (4/5)(x + 7)

So the correct answer is C! Just to clarify, option B is not the correct answer. Keep up the great work!

To find the equation of a line in point-slope form, we need to use the formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁),

where (x₁, y₁) represents the given point on the line, and m represents the slope of the line.

In this case, the given point is (-7, 9), and the slope is 4/5.

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

y - 9 = (4/5)(x - (-7)).

Simplifying the equation further:

y - 9 = (4/5)(x + 7).

Therefore, the correct equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope is:

B. y - 7 = (4/5)(x + 9).
