Problema Solution
Use the point-slope formula to write n equation of the line given the following information. Give your answer (if possible) in:
a. slope-intercept form
b. standard form
1. The slope is -2 and the line passis through the point (1,5)
2. The line passes through the points (1,-3) and (-7,2)
3. The line passes through the point (4,-1) and is parallel to the line y=3x+1
4. The line passis through the point (-2,-2) and is perpendicular ot the line y=1/3x-5
5. The line passes through the point (5,-2) and is perpendicular to the line x=0
6. The slope is undefined, and the line passes through the point (2,-1)
Answer provided by our tutors
This is point slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1) where x1 and y1 and coordinates of a point the line passes through and m is the slope
1. y - 5 = -2(x - 5)
a. y = -2x + 15
b. 2x + y = 15
