Question

Point slope form equation of (-5,3);m=7?

Answer 1

It is `y-3 = 7(x+5)`.

Explanation:

The point-slope form is given by `y−b=m(x−a)`. Given the slope and any point on the line, you should be able to plug it in and get the point-slope form.

When you plug `(-5,3)`, `m=7` in, you get `y-3 = 7(x+5)` (don't forget double negative is positive).

(Note: distributing and simplifying point-slope form will give you slope-intercept form.)
