Given m = 2 and the point (-1, 7), which of the following is the point-slope form of the equation?


y - 7 = 2(x - 1)


y + 7 = 2(x - 1)


y + 7 = 2(x + 1)


y - 7 = 2(x + 1)

Respuesta :

Option D: [tex]y-7=2(x+1)[/tex] is the equation of line in point - slope form

Explanation:

Given that the slope is [tex]m=2[/tex] and the point [tex](-1,7)[/tex]

We need to determine the equation of the line in point - slope form.

The point - slope form can be determined using the formula,

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Let us substitute the point [tex](-1,7)[/tex] and the slope [tex]m=2[/tex] in the above formula.

Thus, we have,

[tex]y-7=2(x-(-1))[/tex]

Simplifying the terms, we get,

[tex]y-7=2(x+1)[/tex]

Thus, the equation of the line in point - slope form is [tex]y-7=2(x+1)[/tex]

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
