Point-Slope Form of a Line — Quiz

Question 5 • *KCPS Algebra I (2027)

The equation of a linear function in point-slope form is y minus y sub 1 is equal to m times open paren x minus x sub 1 close paren Harold correctly wrote the equation y is equal to 3 times open paren x minus 7 close paren using a point and the slope. Which point did Harold use?

Answer
A
7 comma 0
B
0 comma 7
C
7 comma 3
D
3 comma 7

Explanation

Point-slope form is y − y₁ = m(x − x₁). Harold’s equation, y = 3(x − 7), can be written as y − 0 = 3(x − 7). Thus y₁ = 0 and x₁ = 7, so the point is (7, 0), choice A.
