Write the equation of the line in point-slope form
2007-04-26 08:27:38 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous in Science & Mathematics ➔ Mathematics
point-slope form is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
where y1 and x1 are the x and y in the co-ordinates.
in this case you would have
y-(-3)=(-10/9)(x-5)
You can simplify it.

point-slope form of line: y-y1 = m(x-x1), where m=slope and (y1,x1) is one of the ordered pairs
y+3=(-10/9)(x-5)

y=mx+b
y=-10x/9 +b
-3=-10*5/9+b
-3=-50/9+b
50/9 -3=b
b=23/9
y=-10x/9 +23/9
or y=-10x/9+b
7=-10(-4)/9 +b
7=40/9 +b
b=63/9-40/9
b=23/9
y=-10x/9 +23/9
