Question

A line has a slope of 10 and passes through the point (-7,-3) What is its equation in point-slope form?

Use the specified point in your equation. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions. Simplify all fractions.

Answer 1

y + 3 = 10(x + 7)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

here m = 10 and (a, b ) = (- 7, - 3 ) , then

y - (- 3) = 10(x - (- 7) ) , that is

y + 3 = 10(x + 7)
