Question

which equation is the equation of the line, in point-slope form, that has a slope of -4 and passes through the point (7, -1) ?

Answer 1

Answer

y-1=-4 (x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y-y1=m (x-x1)

Substitute values given in question

y-1=-4 (x-7)

Answer 2

Answer:

y - 1 = -4(x - 7).

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope equation is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)  where m = the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

Here m = -4 , x1 = 7 and y2 = 1, so:

y - 1 = -4(x - 7).
