Question

What form of a linear equation is y - 6 = -4(x + 2) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Point slope form

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y - 6 = -4(x + 2)$

Required

Determine the form of linear equation

A linear has just three forms:

1. The slope intercept form.: This is always in form of $y = mx + b$

2. The point slope form: This is always in form of $y - y_1 = m(x - cx_1($

2. The standard form: This is always in form of $Ax + Bxx = c$

By comparison, the three forms with the question, we can see that option B answers the question.
