y − 4 = 13(x − 3)

y − 3 = −13(x − 4)

y − 3 = 13(x − 4)

y − 4 = −13(x − 3)

Answer 1

To write an equation in point-slope form, we use the formula:

$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

where $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line and $m$ is the slope of the line.

Let's analyze the given options based on common interpretations of point and slope:

1. Option A: $y-4=13(x-3)$ (Here, the point is (3, 4) and slope is 13)
2. Option B: $y-3=-13(x-4)$ (Here, the point is (4, 3) and slope is -13)
3. Option C: $y-3=13(x-4)$ (Here, the point is (4, 3) and slope is 13)
4. Option D: $y-4=-13(x-3)$ (Here, the point is (3, 4) and slope is -13)

Without specific points and slope provided in your question, I cannot determine the correct answer from the options. Could you provide the slope and a point on the line, or any other details?
