"Write Equation of a line"
USE: Y-Y1=M (x-y1); replace(x1,y1) and M.
How would I take that formula and use it on a problem like,,, y-2=-5(x+6)??????
x1,y1= -6,2, M=-5
check my thinking.
It actually turned out to be, y=5x+32. Somehow (haha) I am glad I am in stupider classes in high school or I would be totally failing. Thanks alot though Bob.(:
To write the equation of a line using the formula Y - Y1 = M(x - X1), you need to replace the values of (X1, Y1) and M with the given information.
Let's use the example problem you provided: y - 2 = -5(x + 6).
In this equation, (X1, Y1) is (-6, 2), and M is -5.
Now, replacing the values in the formula, we get:
Y - 2 = -5(x - (-6))
Simplifying further:
Y - 2 = -5(x + 6)
And this is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
