Using variables, write out the formula for the point-slope form of the equation.
b. Determine the slope of the line.
c. Identify the point (-1,-2) as (x1, y1) and write the equation of the line in point-slope form.
Show all work on how you found the slope or determined the slope from the graph. Use the box provided to submit all of your calculations and final answers. Simplify the answer as needed.
a. The point-slope form of the equation is: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
b. To determine the slope of the line, we need to use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Since (-1, -2) is given as (x1, y1), we need to find another point (x2, y2) on the line.
c. Let's assume another point on the line is (x2, y2).
Now, we can calculate the slope:
m = (-2 - y2) / (-1 - x2)
Since we don't have a specific value for (x2, y2) or a graph given, we cannot determine the slope of the line without more information.
Therefore, we cannot write the equation of the line in point-slope form without knowing the slope.
