The point-slope form of the equation of a nonvertical line with slope, m, that passes through the point (x1,y1)

a. ax+by=c

b. y-y1=m(x-x1)

c. y1=mx1+b

d. ax1+by1=c

e. y=mx+b

f. y1-y=m(x-x1)

explain why, if you can. : )

The equation of the line, in point-slope form, is given by:

Option b.

The equation of a line, in point-slope form, is given by:

  b. y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a matter of definition. There are perhaps a dozen useful forms of equations for a line. Each has its own name (and use). Here are some of them.

Adding y1 to the point-slope form puts it in an alternate form that is useful for getting to slope-intercept form faster: y = m(x -x1) +y1. I use this when asked to write the equation of a line with given slope through a point, with the result in slope-intercept form.
