Question

How do you write an equation in point slope form given Point: (5, -9); Slope: 2?

Answer 1

Equation in point-slope form is

`color(maroon)(y + 9 = 2 * (x - 5)`

Explanation:

Slope- point form of equation is

`(y-y_1) = m (x-x_1)`

Given : m = 2, x_1 = 5, y_1 = -9#

`y + 9 = 2 * (x - 5)`

`2x - y = 19`
