Question

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (−2, 4) and has a slope of 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-4=5(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point $(-2,4)$ and has slope  $m=5$.

The point-slope form is given by the formula;

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

where $m=5$ is the slope and

$(x_1,y_1)=(-2,4)$ is a point on the line,

We substitute the values into the formula to obtain;

The required equation is  $y-4=5(x+2)$
