Slope =-7 passing through (-4,-2) type the point slope form of the line

ANSWER:  

Point slope form of the line is y + 2 = -7x - 28

SOLUTION:

Given that, slope of a line is -7 and that line passes through the point p(-4, -2).

We need to write the point – slope form of that line.

Point – slope form of a general line equation is --- eqn 1

Where, m is the slope of the line  

is the y co-ordinate of a point through which the given line passes.  

is the x co-ordinate of a point through which the given line passes.

Now, from the given information ,  slope (m) = -7 , y co-ordinate ()= -2, x co-ordinate ()= -4

substituting in eqn 1, we get

y – (-2) = (-7)(x – (-4))

y + 2 = (-7)(x + 4)

y + 2 = -7x - 28

hence, the point slope form of the line is y + 2 = -7x - 28

5/12, or 5: 12

step-by-step explanation:

really really sorry if i'm

-12 -5(x + 4) = 3x

-12 - 5x - 20 = 3x

-12 - 20 - 5x = 3x

-32 - 5x = 3x

    + 5x   + 5x

-32 = 8x

- 4= x
