Q. Write an equation in point-slope form for each line2. Slope is 1 and (−2,−1) is on the line.
Identify Point-Slope Form: Identify the point-slope form of a linear equation.The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by: y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.
Insert Slope and Point: Insert the given slope and point into the point-slope form.We are given the slope m=1 and the point (x1,y1)=(−2,−1). Substituting these values into the point-slope form, we get: y−(−1)=1(x−(−2)).
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation.Simplify the equation by removing the parentheses: y+1=1(x+2).
Check Equation: Check the equation.The equation y+1=1(x+2) correctly represents a line with a slope of 1 that passes through the point (−2,−1) in point-slope form.
