Find a point-slope form for the line with slope 1/5 and passing through the point (-7,-4).
1 answer:
Answer:
y + 4 = ⅕(x + 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
The "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line is:
y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)
where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.
If m = ⅕ and (x₁, y₁) = (-7, - 4), the point-slope equation is
y + 4 = ⅕(x + 7)
The Figure below shows the graph of your line and a point at (-7, -4).
