Writing Linear Functions

Question 1 • Q1 Mathematics 8

What is the point-slope form of a line that has a slope of 3 and passes through the point (–1, 4)?

Answer
A
y – (–1) = 5(x – 4)
B
4 – y1 = 3(–1 – x1)
C
y – 3 = –1[(x – (–4)]
D
y – 4 = 3[(x – (–1)]

Explanation

Point-slope form is y − y₁ = m(x − x₁). Substituting the slope m = 3 and the point (x₁, y₁) = (−1, 4) gives y − 4 = 3(x − (−1)), which is choice D.
