Question 6 of 15

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line with slope 2/9 that passes through the point (-2,-5).

Answer 1

y = (2/9)x - 41/9

Explanation:

Equation of a straight line is y – y1 = m (x – x1), where y1 and x1 are the coordinates of a given point.

y - (-5) = (2/9) (x - (-2))

y + 5 = (2/9) (x + 2)

y = (2/9)x + (2/9)2 - 5

y = (2/9)x + (4/9) - 5.

5 = 45/9.

y = (2/9)x + (4/9) - (45/9)

y = (2/9)x - 41/9
