Question

Line  passes through point (-6,-7) and has a slope 1,2 . What is the equation for the line in point-slope for the line in point-slope form

Answer 1

The point-slope form of a line is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line. We can simply input the known values into this equation and get

y + 7 = 1.2(x + 6),

which can be simplified to

y = 1.2x + 0.2
