Q. Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (1,−13) with slope −112.Answer:
Recall Point-Slope Form: Recall the point-slope form of a line's equation.The point-slope form of a line's equation is given by:y−y1=m(x−x1)where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.
Identify Point and Slope: Identify the given point and slope.The given point is (1,−13) and the slope m is −112.
Substitute into Equation: Substitute the given point and slope into the point-slope form.Using the point (1,−13) and the slope −112, we substitute into the equation:y−(−13)=−112(x−1)
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.y+13=−112(x−1)This is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
