Question

PLEASE HELP ME!! IM SO CONFUSED WITH THIS LESSON! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

what is the equation, in point-slope form, for a like that goes through (2,-6) and has a slope of -3/4?

a.) y-6=-3/4(x+2)
b.) y-6=3/4(x-2)
c.) y+6=-3/4(x-2)
d.) y+6=-3/4(x+2)

Answer 1

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure your answer would be c since the x and y are always the opposite of each other whenever they're in this form therefore if the point is (2, -6), in the equation it'd be y+6, x-2. Also, you can rule out the first two because their slope isn't -3/4.

If you want to check, all you have to do is plug in either x or the y.

-6+6=-3/4(x-2)        y+6=-3/4(2-2)

0=-3/4(x-2)             y+6=-3/4(0)

0=x-2                      y+6=0

x=2                          y=-6
