Write an equation in​ point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m.

(-5, 1); m=3

The equation of the line is ___?

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,1) with a slope of 3
is
y=3x+16

it says that is not correct

Point-Slope Equation of a Line:

y − y1 = m ( x − x1 )

m = slope

( x 1 , y 1 ) = coordinates of one point on the line

In this case m = 3 , x1 = - 5 , y1 = 1

y − y1 = m ( x − x1 )

y − 1 = 3 [ x − ( - 5 ) ]

y − 1 = 3 ( x + 5 )

the answer, Bosnian.
Answered by Bosnian
In google type "Point slope form"
When you see list of results go on mathisfun or some other site.

Answer is:

y − 1 = 3 ( x + 5 )

no it isnt. i tried that lmfao

y − 1 = 3 ( x + 5 )
is point-slope form of line passes through the point ( - 5, 1 ) and have slope m = 3 , and that is answer.

Goodbye.
Answered by Henry2,
(-5, 1), m = 3.
(-5, 1), (x, y).
(y - 1)/(x-(-5)) = 3.
(y-1)/(x+5) = 3,
Cross-multiply:
y-1 = 3(x+5). Same as Bosnian.
