Question

Write the point-slope form of an equation for a line that passes through the point with the given slope

Answer 1

Answer:

Step 1: Determine the formula.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Step 2: Determine what variables you need.

(x₁,y₁) = a point on the line

m = slope

Step 3: Plug each number in for the variables and you have the completed point-slope form of the equation for the line.

$y - 2 = 2(x - (-2))\\\\y - 2 = 2(x + 2)$

The point-slope form of this line is: $y - 2 = 2(x + 2)$.
