Q. A line that includes the point (−9,5) has a slope of −3. What is its equation in point-slope form?Use the specified point in your equation. Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions. Simplify all fractions.y−______=______(x−______)
Identify Point-Slope Form: Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by the formula y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Substitute Point and Slope: Substitute the given point and slope into the point-slope form. We are given the point (−9,5) and the slope −3. Substituting these values into the point-slope form, we get y−5=−3(x−(−9)).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.Simplify the equation by distributing the slope −3 across the parentheses: y−5=−3(x+9).
