Question

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point left bracket, 1, comma, minus, 17, right bracket(1,−17) with slope 44.

Answer 1

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where:
(m) is the slope of the line
(x1, y1) is a point on the line.

In this case, the slope (m) is 44 and the point (x1, y1) is (1, -17). Plugging these values into the point-slope form, we have:

y - (-17) = 44(x - 1)

Simplifying, we get:

y + 17 = 44(x - 1)
