Point slope form is . Here, you are looking for (, ) and m, using the equation y + 4 = 5(x + 6)
First off, 'm' is fairly easy to find, as it is right outside of (), or (x + 6). It is 5.
Next, find in , or y + 4. At first, one might think it is 4, but note that in point slope form there is a minus (y MINUS ), but in the equation it is a plus (y PLUS 4). Since two negatives equal a positive, change y + 4 to y - (-4), which more closely follows . So, is -4.
Finally, Find in , or x + 6. Note that it is the same kind of deal as with the y (x MINUS versus x PLUS 6), so change x + 6 to x - (-6). So, is -6.
***THEREFORE, YOUR ANSWER IS a) (-6, -4); 5
