Question

Write the point-slope equation of the line that goes through (5, 3) with a slope of -12.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope equation:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Insert the values:

y - 3 = -12(x - 5)

Answer 2

Answer:

y-3=-12(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope form is: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where:

$(x_1,y_1)-\text {Coordinate Point}\\m-\text{Slope}$

In the given question, the slope is -12 and the point given is (5,3).

So:

$m=-12\\(x_1,y_1)=(5,3)$

Replace the variables with the appropriate values.

We get:

$y-3=-12(x-5)$

So, y-3=-12(x-5) should be your answer.
