Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m.
(-5, 1); m=3
The equation of the line is ___?
the answer, Bosnian.
it says that is not correct
Point-Slope Equation of a Line:
y − y1 = m ( x − x1 )
m = slope
( x 1 , y 1 ) = coordinates of one point on the line
In this case m = 3 , x1 = - 5 , y1 = 1
y − y1 = m ( x − x1 )
y − 1 = 3 [ x − ( - 5 ) ]
y − 1 = 3 ( x + 5 )
im still confused..
What is not clear here?
In google type "Point slope form"
When you see list of results go on mathisfun or some other site.
Answer is:
y − 1 = 3 ( x + 5 )
no it isnt. i tried that lmfao
(-5, 1), m = 3.
(-5, 1), (x, y).
(y - 1)/(x-(-5)) = 3.
(y-1)/(x+5) = 3,
Cross-multiply:
y-1 = 3(x+5). Same as Bosnian.
y − 1 = 3 ( x + 5 )
is point-slope form of line passes through the point ( - 5, 1 ) and have slope m = 3 , and that is answer.
Goodbye.
