Q. Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (−5,−12) with slope 59.Answer:
Point-Slope Form: The point-slope form of a line's equation is given by (y−y1)=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Substitute Values: Given the point (−5,−12) and the slope 59, we can substitute these values into the point-slope form equation.(y−(−12))=(59)(x−(−5))
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by distributing the slope and removing the double negatives.(y+12)=(59)(x+5)
Final Equation: The equation is now in point-slope form and there is no need to simplify further unless asked to convert to another form.
