How do you write the equation of a line in slope intercept, point slope and standard form given Point: (5, -6) Slope: m = 1?

Answer 1

A "point" is conventionally written as an (x,y) coordinate. Thus, the x = 5 and the y = -6 in this case. Plug those values and the given slope into the equation for a line:
y = m*x + b

This will also allow you to solve for the line intercept, 'b' and write the general equation for any x and y.

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1) Standard form: Ax + By = C

Substituting the given slope and point into the equations:

Slope-intercept form: y = 1x + b -6 = 1(5) + b b = -11 y = x - 11
Point-slope form: y - (-6) = 1(x - 5) y + 6 = x - 5
Standard form: x - y = -11

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
