Question

How do you write an equation in point slope form given slope -1/4, (7, -5)?

Answer 1

`color(black)(y+5=-1/4(x-7)`

Explanation:

The general slope-point form for a line with slope `color(green)(m)` through a point `(color(red)(a),color(blue)(b))` is
`color(white)("XXX")y-color(blue)(b)=color(green)(m)(x-color(red)(a))`
