Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line with a slope of 6 that passes through (-2, -5)

Answer 1

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ 6 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-5)}=\stackrel{m}{6}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)})\implies y+5=6(x+2)$
