Q. A line that includes the point (−9,−6) has a slope of −5. 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: (−9,−6)Slope: −5What is the point-slope form of the line?Substitute −5 for m, −9 for x1, and −6 for y1 in the point-slope form.y−(−6)=−5(x−(−9))
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation. y+6=−5(x+9)
