Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (-7,14) with slope (2)/(11)

Answer 1

y = 2/11x + 168/11

Explanation:

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

slope = m = 2/11

Using the point (-7, 14):

y - 14 = 2/11(x - -7)

y - 14 = 2/11x + 14/11

rewrite in standard form: y = mx + b

y = 2/11x + 14/11 + 14

y = 2/11x + 168/11
