Answer 1

The given equation

y − 2 = 58(x + 16)

is in point-slope form.

The point-slope form of a linear equation is expressed as:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is a specific point on the line. In the given equation, the slope (m) is 58, and the point used to write the equation in point-slope form can be derived as (-16, 2).
