Question

Write an equation in a point-slope form that passes through the given point with the given slope (3, 5), m = -4 and-1, 8), m = ½

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y-5=-4(x-3)}\\\boxed{y-8=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

$m=-4,\ (3,\ 5)\\\\y-5=-4(x-3)$

$m=\dfrac{1}{2},\ (-1,\ 8)\\\\y-8=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-1))\\\\y-8=\dfrac{1}{2}(x+1)$
