Question

Write in point-slope form an equation of the line that passes through point (1,9) with the slope -2

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation on the the 'point-slope' form of the equation that passes through point (1,9) with the slope -2 will be: $y\:-9=\:-2\left(x\:-\:1\:\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'point-slope' form of the equation of a straight line can be written as:

$y\:-y_1\:=\:m\left(x\:-\:x1\:\right)$

Given

• point (1, 9)

• m = -2

Plugging in the 'point-slope' form of the equation of a straight line

$y\:-y_1\:=\:m\left(x\:-\:x1\:\right)$

$y\:-9=\:-2\left(x\:-\:1\:\right)$

Therefore,

The equation on the the 'point-slope' form of the equation that passes through point (1,9) with the slope -2 will be: $y\:-9=\:-2\left(x\:-\:1\:\right)$
