Question

How do you write an equation in point-slope form for the given (-5, 0) with slope 4?

Answer 1

`y=4(x+5)`

Explanation:

The point-slope form of a linear equation is `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`, where `m` is the slope, and `(x_1, y_1)` is the point.

Substitute the given values into the equation.

`y-0=4(x-(-5))` =

`y=4(x+5)`
