Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation for a line that passes through (6, -1) with a slope of 2

Answer 1

ANSWER

$y + 1=2(x-6)$

EXPLANATION

The point-slope form of a line is given by;

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

where

$m = 2$

is the slope of the line and (6,-1) is point.

We substitute the point and the slope into the formula to obtain:

$y + 1=2(x-6)$

Hence the b point slope form of the line with the given properties is
