Understanding Point-Slope Form

What is the point-slope form of a line with a slope of 4 passing through the point (5, 7)?

• y + 7 = 4(x + 5)

• y - 5 = 4(x - 7)

• y - 7 = 4(x - 5)

• y + 5 = 4(x + 7)

How do you correctly handle a negative y-value in the point-slope form equation?

• Add the positive value

• Add the negative value

• Subtract the positive value

• Subtract the negative value directly

What happens when you subtract a negative number in the point-slope form?

• It becomes a subtraction

• It becomes an addition

• It remains a subtraction

• It becomes zero

In the equation y - 6 = -2/3(x + 4), what is the slope of the line?

• -2/3

• 2/3

• -3/2

• 3/2

How do you incorporate a fractional slope into the point-slope form?

• Multiply the fraction by the x-value

• Add the fraction to the y-value

• Use the fraction directly as the slope

• Convert the fraction to a decimal
