Using the point-slope formula, find the equation of the line passing through the point (2, -3) with a slope of 4.

• y = 4x - 2

• y + 3 = 4(x - 2)

• y - 3 = 4x

• y - 3 = 4(x - 2)

A line has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (6, 5). Find the equation of the line using point-slope form.

• y - 5 = -2x + 6

• y - 5 = -2(x - 6)

• y + 5 = -2(x - 6)

• y - 5 = 2(x - 6)

Given the equation y - 7 = 5(x - 2), find the slope of the line.

Apply point-slope form to write the equation of a line passing through the point (4, -1) with a slope of -3.

• y + 1 = -3(x - 4)

• y + 1 = 3(x - 4)

• y - 1 = 3(x - 4)

• y - 1 = -3(x - 4)

A line has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the point (8, 4). Write the equation of the line using point-slope form.

• y - 4 = 2(x - 8)

• y = 4x - 8

• y - 4 = (1/2)(x - 8)

• y - 4 = (1/2)x + 8

A phone company charges a $20 monthly fee plus $0.05 per minute for calls. Write the equation that represents the total cost of using the phone company for x minutes.

• Total Cost = $15 + $0.03x

• Total Cost = $20 + $0.05x

• Total Cost = $10 + $0.05x

• Total Cost = $25 + $0.10x

A line has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (2, 1). What is the equation of the line using point-slope form?

• y - 1 = 3(x - 2)

• y - 1 = 3x + 2

• y + 1 = 3(x - 2)

• y - 1 = -3(x - 2)
