How to find slope intercept form from point slope form


Asked by admin @ in Mathematics viewed by 337 People


Use point-slope form to write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the points (0, -5) and (-3, 4).

Slope formula: m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction
Point-slope form: y – y1 = m(x – x1)
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
Choose the equation of the line.
y = –3x – 13
y = –3x – 5
y = –3x + 5
y = Negative one-third x + 13

The equation of a line can be written in either point-slope form or slope intercept form.

The equation of the line is: (b) \mathbf{y = -3x-5}

The points are given as:

\mathbf{(x_1,y_1) = (0,-5)}

\mathbf{(x_2,y_2) = (-3,4)}

Start by calculating the slope using:

\mathbf{m = \frac{y_2  -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{m = \frac{4--5}{-3-0}}

\mathbf{m = \frac{9}{-3}}

\mathbf{m = -3}

The point slope form of the equation is:

\mathbf{y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}

So, we have:

\mathbf{y - -5 = -3(x - 0)}

\mathbf{y +5 = -3x}

Subtract 5 from both sides

\mathbf{y = -3x-5}

Hence, the equation of the line is: (b) \mathbf{y = -3x-5}
