Write the point-slope form of the equation for a line that passes through (6, –1) with a slope of 2.

Question

The value of x₁ is?

The value of y₁ is?

The point-slope form of the equation is?

Answer 1

Point-slope form:

(y + 1) / (x - 6) = 2

or

y + 1 = 2(x - 6)

Answer 2

( x1,y1)=(6,-1)

The value of x₁ is 6

The value of y₁ is -1

slope= m = 2

Point slope form of equation is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-(-1) = 2( x-6)

y+1 =2(x-6)
