Question

Determine an equation of the line through the given point having the given slope.

a) (-2, 5); m=-4 b) (11, 9); m= 0

Answer 1

(-2,5) m=-4

5=-4(-2)+b

b = 5-8 =-3

y=-4x-3 is the line with slope -4 through (-2,5)

(11,9) m=0

y=(0)x +9

y=9 is the line with zero slope through the point (11,9)
