Question 1131190
.
the slope and one point on a line are given. use the point-slope form to find the equation of that line. write your answer in standard form
(-1,-4),m=2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The answer  &nbsp;{{{y+4=-2(x+1)}}}  &nbsp;from the post by &nbsp;@josgarithmetic is &nbsp;&nbsp;<U>T O T A L L Y &nbsp;&nbsp;I N C O R R E C T</U>. 


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For your safety, &nbsp;simply ignore it.


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The correct solution and correct answer are below.



<pre>
The equation in point-slope form is


    y - (-4) = 2*(x- (-1)).


It is the same as 


    y + 4 = 2*(x+1).    <<<---===  It is your final equation in the <U>point-slope form</U>.      <U>ANSWER</U>




Next transform it to the standard form 

    y = 2x + 2 - 4,

    y = 2x -2, 

    2x - y = 2.         <<<---===  It is your final equation in standard form.    <U>ANSWER</U>
