The point-slope form of a line is y + y1 = m(x + x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.A.TrueB.False

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the components of the point-slope form.
2. Determine whether the given statement correctly describes the point-slope form of a line.

Relevant Concepts

• The point-slope form of a line is defined as:
  $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$
  where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1, y_1)$ is a specific point on the line.

Analysis and Detail

1. The statement provided in the question asserts that the point-slope form is written as $y + y_1 = m(x + x_1)$.
2. Comparing this to the standard point-slope formula, we note that:
   • In the standard formula, it is $y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$.
   • The equation provided in the question uses addition rather than subtraction.

Verify and Summarize

• Since the statement does not match the established point-slope form, we can conclude that it is incorrect.

Final Answer

The statement is B. False.
