Question

write an equation in point-slope form for the line that has a slope of 15 and contains the point (2,−9).

Answer 1

y +9 = 15(x -2)

Explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . for slope m and point (h, k)

Here, you are given m=15 and (h, k) = (2, -9). Putting these values into the form gives the equation ...

y +9 = 15(x -2)
