Q. Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (−14,−7) with slope 32.Answer:
Identify 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.Given the point (−14,−7) and the slope 32, we can substitute these values into the point-slope form equation.
Substitute Values: Substitute the given point and slope into the point-slope form equation:(y−(−7))=(32)(x−(−14))
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by distributing the slope and removing the double negative signs:(y+7)=(32)(x+14)
Finalize Equation: The equation is now in point-slope form and there is no need for further simplification unless asked to convert it to another form.
