Question

What is a point-slope equation of the line with slope -13 that goes through the point (5,7)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

of a line in Slope-point form

If m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line then equation is given by

(y - y1 ) = m(x - x1)(y−y1)=m(x−x1)

From given info x1 is 5 and y1 is -7

slope m is 2

Putting these in above equation

y+7= 2×(x-5)

Simplifying will -2x + y=8

Hope it is clear.
