Find the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (4, -2) with a slope of 14.

Answer 1

Point slope form of a line is written as follows:

(y - y₁) = m (x - x₁) Where m is your slope, x₁ is the x-value of the point, and y1 is the y-value of the point.

Plug all of the given information into the equation:

m = 14

x₁ = 4 (y - (-2)) = 14 (x - 4)

y₁ = -2

(y + 2) = 14(x - 4) This is the simplified form
