Question

write the point-slope from the equation of the line with slope -7/4 that passes through the point (-9,2)

Answer 1

y - 2 = -
`(7)/(4)` (x + 9)

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 = -
`(7)/(4)` and (a, b ) = (- 9, 2 ) , then

y - 2 = -
`(7)/(4)` (x - (- 9) ) , that is

y - 2 = -
`(7)/(4)` (x + 9)
