Question

Which is an equation in point slope form for the given point and slope? Point: (-3,7) Slope: 4

Answer 1

Answer:

y-7=4x(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(The 4x is 4 times ...)

Answer 2

Answer:

$y -7 = 4(x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is in the format of $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$. When knowing a line's slope and a point it passes through, you can write an equation in that format. The $m$, $x_1$, and $y_1$ must be substituted for with real values.

The $m$ represents the slope, thus substitute 4 for $m$. $x_1$ represents the x-value of one point the line passes through, while $y_1$ represents that same point's y-value. The line passes through (-3, 7), so substitute -3 for $x_1$ and 7 for $y_1$. This gives the following answer and equation:

$y-(7) = 4(x-(-3))\\y -7 = 4(x+3)$
