Question

Find an equation in point-slope form for the line having the slope m= -5 and containing the point (7,2).

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 2 = - 5(x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 5 and (a, b) = (7, 2) , thus

y - 2 = - 5(x - 7) ← equation in point- slope form

Answer 2

Answer:

y-2=-5(x-7)
