Question

Write in point-slope form an equation of the line that passes through the point (6,−1) with slope −13.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y+1=-13(x-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is denoted by: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$, where $(x_1,y_1)$ is the point and m is the slope.

Here, we know that our point is (6, -1) and the slope is -13. That means that $x_1=6$, $y_1=-1$, and m = -13. So plug these in:

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

$y+1=-13(x-6)$

And, that's the answer: $y+1=-13(x-6)$.
