Q. Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point (−18,10) with slope 711.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.
Substitute Given Point and Slope: Substitute the given point and slope into the point-slope form. Given point (x1,y1)=(−18,10) and slope m=711, we substitute these values into the point-slope form equation: y−10=(711)(x−(−18))
Simplify the Equation: Simplify the equation.y−10=711(x+18)This is the equation of the line in point-slope form.
