Question

Given m = 2/3 and the point (-5, 5), which of the following is the point-slope form of the equation?


y + 5 = 2/3(x - 5)


y - 5 = 2/3(x + 5)


y + 5 = 2/3(x + 5)


y - 5 = 2/3(x - 5)

Answer 1

The point-slope form of an equation is:

y-y_{1 =} m(x-x₁₎

m is the slope = 2/3

substitute the coordinates of the point (-5,5) into the equation.. 

y-5 = 2/3(x-(^-5)) =

y-5 = 2/3(x+5)
