Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m.
(-2,1); m=5
The equation in point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1). Substituting (-2,1) for (x1,y1) and 5 for m, we have:
y - 1 = 5(x - (-2))
Simplifying:
y - 1 = 5(x + 2)
Write an equation in point-slope form for the given line.
Choose the correct answer below.
y - 4 = - 1/5(x - 2)
y - 2 = 1/5 (x - 4)
y - 2 = -1/5 (x - 4)
y - 4 = 1/5 (x - 2)
