Question

Write the point-slope equation of the line that goes through (1, 4) with a slope of -10

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 4= -10(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(y - y 1) = m(x - x 1 )

Answer 2

Answer:

y-4=-10(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\m-slope\\(x_1,y_1)-point$

We are given the slope of -10 and the point (1,4). So:

m = -10

x1 = 1

y1= 4

Replace the appropriate values:

$y-4=-10(x-1)$

So, y-4=-10(x-1) should be the point-slope equation.
