Q. Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (−11,7) with slope −23.Answer:
Point-Slope Form Definition: The point-slope form of the equation of a line is given by (y−y1)=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Given Point and Slope: Given the point (−11,7) and the slope −23, we can substitute these values into the point-slope form equation.
Substitute Values: Substituting the given point and slope into the equation, we get (y−7)=−23(x−(−11)).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by distributing the slope and removing the double negative in front of 11: (y−7)=−(23)(x+11).
Final Answer: The equation in point-slope form is now (y−7)=−23(x+11). This is the final answer.
