Question

Write in point-slope form an equation of the line that passes through the point (−2,4) with slope −12.

Answer 1

Answer: y - 4 = -12 ( x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point - slope form is given as :

$y-y_{1}$ = m($x-x_{1}$ )

Where m is the slope and ($x_{1}$ , $y_{1}$) is the given point

substituting the values into the formula , we have:

y - 4 = -12 ( x - {-2})

y - 4 = -12 ( x + 2)
