Point slope form of the equation can be written as follows
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y and x are the 2 variables , m is the slope and x₁ and y₁ are the respective coordinates for the given point
in this format a point of a line and the slope of the line are given. using this information we can write down the point - slope formula for the graph
since a point has been given we know the x₁ and y₁ coordinates.
These are the coordinates of the given point (-1,6)
x₁ = -1
y₁ = 6
slope has been given as -3, m = -3
substituting these values in the formula, 
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - 6 = -3 (x - (-1))
y - 6 = -3 (x + 1)
answer is B.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two point form of the equation:

(y-y_1)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\times (x-x_1)

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=Slope=m

(y-y_1)=m\times (x-x_1)

A line passing through the point (-1,6) with slope ,m = -3.

The equation of the line will be:

y-6=(-3)(x-(-1))=(-3)(x+1)

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Charity is four times as old as her daughter. She is also six years younger than her husband. The sum of their ages ten years to
zubka84 [21]

Answer: Charity is 36 years old today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Present age of daughter.

Age of Charity = 4x

Age of her husband = 4x+6

After 10 years,

Age of daughter = x+10

Age of Charity = 4x+10

Age of her husband = 4x+6+10=4x+16

As per given,

x+10+4x+10+4x+16=117

9x+36=117\\\\ 9x=117-36\\\\ 9x=81\\\\ x=9

Present age of Charity = 4(9)=36 years

Hence, Charity is 36 years old today.
