Question

Explain what Nate did correctly.
Explain the mistake Nate made.

Answer 1

Nate correctly inserted the x and y values. Nate did not put in the correct x and y values.

Explanation:

Since this is point slope formula, you must put the same coordinate. Ex: (Y1, X1)

So a correct point slope formula would be: y-(-5)= 5(x-1)

Sinne y-y1= m(x-x1_

As, y1 = coordinate #1... x1 = coordinate of #1 ,,, m= slope
