Given:
Points ( 6, -1 )
x1 = 6
y1 = -1
m = 2
Write the equation of the line in point-slope form.
Formula for the point-slope form:
y -y1 = m (x - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, m and y1 to the formula for the point-slope form.
y - (-1) = 2 ( x -6 )
y + 1 = 2 (x - 6)
Final answer:
y + 1 = 2 (x - 6)
