Question

The table represents a linear equation. Which equation correctly uses point (–2, –6) to write the equation of this line in point-slope form? y – 6 = (x – 2) y – 6 = (x – 2) y + 6 = (x + 2) y + 6 = (x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y+6=m(x+2)$

where I would have to look at the table to know $m$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form of a line is

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

where $m \text{ is the slope and } (x_1,y_1) \text{ is a point on that line}$

You are given $(x_1,y_1)=(-2,-6) \text{, but no value for }m$.

So we know we are looking for an equation that looks like this:

$y-(-6)=m(x-(-2))$

If you simplify this looks like:

$y+6=m(x+2)$
