Question

How do you write an equation for the line that passes through (-5, 7) and whose slope is 6?

Answer 1

`color(maroon)(6x - y + 37 = 0`

Explanation:

We will use `color(crimson)("Point - Slope Form"`

`y - y_1 = m * (x - x_1)`

`(x_1, y_1) = (-5,7), m =6`

`y - 7 = 6 * (x - (-5))`

`y - 7 = 6x + 30`

`y - 6x = 30 + 7 = 37`

`color(maroon)(6x - y + 37 = 0`
