Q. Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (−7,−18) with slope 3 .Answer:
Identify Given Point and Slope: Identify the given point and the slope.Given point (x1,y1): (−7,−18)Slope (m): 3Point-slope form equation: y−y1=m(x−x1)
Substitute Given Point and Slope: Substitute the given point and slope into the point-slope form equation.Using the point (−7,−18) and slope 3, the equation becomes:y−(−18)=3(x−(−7))
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation. y+18=3(x+7)
Distribute Slope: Distribute the slope on the right side of the equation.y+18=3x+21
Write Final Equation: Write the final equation in point-slope form.The final equation of the line in point-slope form is:y+18=3x+21
