Question

What is the point-slope form of a line with slope 4/5 that contains the point (-2, 1)?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-1 = \frac{4}{3}(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of the line, use the formula for point slope $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$. Substitute m = 4/5 and the point (-2,1).

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\y-1 = \frac{4}{3}(x--2)\\y-1 = \frac{4}{3}(x+2)$
