How do you write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line through point P(-10,1) with slope -5?
2 Answers
Since we're given the slope and a point, let's start with point slope form.
The point slope form is:
In our case
Slope intercept form is:
To rearrange in slope intercept form, add
This is pretty much slope intercept form with slope
If we are really picky, we might write:
The equation in slope-intercept form is
Slope-intercept form:
Substitute the known values into the equation, then solve for
