Question

Write the point-slope form of each graph. Use the red point to write your equation. State the point and slope.

Answer 1

Answer:

First Graph:

Slope = - 4/5

Point-Slope Form: y - 3 = - 4/5 (x + 2)

Point: (-2, 3)

Second graph:

Slope = 4

Point-Slope Form: y + 6 = 4 (x + 1)

Point: (-1, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

First graph has two points: (-2, 3) & (8, -5)

Use the two points to find the slope using the Slope-Formula

Slope-Formula: y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = slope

m = - 5 - 3/8 - - 2

m = - 8/10

m = - 4/5

The slope of the line will be - 4/5

Now for Point-Slope Form, we’ll need to use the two points with the slope to identify the Point-Slope Form of the graph

Two points: (-2, 3) & (8, -5)

Slope: - 4/5

Point-Slope Formula: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Point-Slope Form: y - 3 = - 4/5 (x + 2)

The point will be: (-2, 3)
