point-slope formula

Question

write in point-slope form an equation of the line that passes through the point (7,6) with slope -5

Answer 1

Recall point-slope formula:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Where you substitute x₁ with the x value of your point, y₁ with the y value of your point, and m with the slope.

This gives you:

y - 6 = -5(x - 7) --> this is the equation in the point-slope form

Answer 2

point slope form: y - 6 = -5(x - 7)
