Question
For the equation y - 4 = -1/3(x - 7), find the coordinates for the point that lies on the
- (4, 7)
- (-7, - 4)
- (7, 4)
- (-4, -7)
Hint:
The line y - =m(x -x1 ) passes through (x1, y1)
The correct answer is: (7, 4)
Given The equation y - 4 = -1/3(x - 7).
The line y - =m(x -x1 ) passes through (x1, y1)
Step 1 : Comparing we get x1 = 7 and y1 = 4
So, the coordinates of the point that lies on the line are (7, 4).
Given the line in point slope form , line y - =m(x -x1 ) passes through (x1, y1) .
