Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope:

Point: (-9, 2)
Slope: 6

Answer 1

Point-slope form: y - 2= 6(x + 9)

Slope-intercept form: y = 6x + 56

Use the formula:

point slope form formula

Answer 2

Let (x₁,y₁) denote the given point, and m denote the given slope.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 2 = 6(x + 9)

y = 6x + 4
