Q. A line has a slope of 5 and passes through the point (1,−1). What is its equation in point-slope form?Use the specified point in your equation. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions. Simplify all fractions.y−_____=_____(x−_____)
Identify Point-Slope Form: Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.Point-slope form: y−y1=m(x−x1)
Substitute Values: We have:Point: (1,−1)Slope: 5What is the point-slope form of the line?Substitute 5 for m, 1 for x1, and −1 for y1 in point-slope form.y−(−1)=5(x−1)
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation. y+1=5(x−1)
Final Point-Slope Form: Write the final equation in point-slope form.y+1=5(x−1)
