Math Problem Statement
Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point left parenthesis, 16, comma, minus, 1, right parenthesis(16,−1) with slope 33.
Solution
The point-slope form of a line's equation is given by:
Where:
- is a point on the line,
- is the slope of the line.
Given:
- ,
- ,
Substitute the values into the formula:
Simplifying:
Now distribute the 33 on the right side:
Finally, subtract 1 from both sides to solve for :
So, the equation of the line is:
