What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line passing through the point (-6, -2) with a slope of 3/5?

Point-Slope form comes from definition of slope. If given points (u,v) and (x,y), then slope, highlight%28m=%28y-v%29%2F%28x-u%29%29 in which the known point may be (u,v).

Solving that equation for y,

m%28x-u%29=y-v

y=m%28x-u%29%2Bv

y=mx-um%2Bv

y=mx%2Bv-um

highlight%28y=mx%2B%28v-um%29%29 which is in slope-intercept form, for some given point (u,v) on the line.

The slope, m. The y-intercept, v-m

step-by-step explanation:

the true statements are:

r = set of real numbers

n = set of natural numbers, 1,2,

w = n u{0} = {0,1,}
