Problema Solution
Write an equation of a line in point-slope form with a slope of -3/4 and passing through the point (1, -5)
Answer provided by our tutors
The "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line is:
y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope, (x1, y1) is a point from the line
m = - 3/4
(x1, y1) = (1, -5)
y - (-5) = (-3/4)(x - 1)
y + 5 = (-3/4)(x - 1) is the equation in point-slope form.
