Question

Select the two statements that are true about the equation y−10=60(x−40).

a. The slope of the line is 10.


b. The slope of the line is 60.


c. One point on the line is (40, 10).


d. One point on the line is (10, 60).

Answer 1

Options B and C

Explanation:

The point-slope form of linear equations is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where: m = slope, and (x₁, y₁) represents a point on the line.

In reference to the definitions provided regarding the point-slope form: Given the linear equation, y - 10 = 60(x - 40):

The slope, m = 60, and one of the points (x₁, y₁) is represented by (10, 40).

Therefore, the correct answers are: Options B and C.
