Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope. (–3, –7); m = -6/5

Answer 1

Point slope form : y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Goes through (-3, -7) and the slope = -6/5

Since we are given the slope and the x₁ as well as y₁, we can simply plug everything into the point slope formula.

y - (-7) = -6/5(x - (-3))

Simplify.

y + 7 = -6/5(x + 3)
