Question 3)
Given
The point (1, -5)
The slope m = -5/6
Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line
where
- m is the slope of the line
- (x₁, y₁) is the point
In our case:
- m = -5/6
- (x₁, y₁) = (1, -5)
substituting the values m = -5/6 and the point (1, -5) in the point-slope form of the equation of the line
Thus, the point-slope form of the equation of the line is:
Question 4)
Given
The point (-1, 5)
The slope m = -7/2
In our case:
- m = -7/2
- (x₁, y₁) = (-1, 5)
substituting the values m = -7/2 and the point (-1, 5) in the point-slope form of the equation of the line
Thus, the point-slope form of the equation of the line is:
