Writing Equations in Point-Slope Form

Which of these represents point-slope form of a linear equation?

• y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
• Ax + By = C
• y = mx + b

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope.
(4, -7); m = -1/4

• y +7 = -1/4(x - 4)
• y - 4 = -1/4(x + 7)
• y+ 7 = 4(x - 4)
• y - 7 = -1/4(x - 4)
