Slope: $m=\frac{1}{3}$; Point: $(-2,4)$

• A. $y-4=\(\frac\)13\(\left\)(x-2\(\right\))$
• B. $y-4=\(\frac\)13\(\left\)(x+2\(\right\))$
• C. $y-\(\frac\)13=4\(\left\)(x+2\(\right\))$
• D. $y-\(\frac\)13=4\(\left\)(x-2\(\right\))$

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the point-slope form of a linear equation, which is given by the formula: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\), where \(m\) is the slope and \((x_1, y_1)\) is a point on the line.
2. Identify the given slope \(m\) and the point \((x_1, y_1)\) from the problem. Here, the slope \(m = \frac{1}{3}\) and the point is \((-2, 4)\).
3. Substitute the slope and the coordinates of the point into the point-slope formula: \(y - 4 = \frac{1}{3}(x - (-2))\).
4. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses by changing the subtraction of a negative number to addition: \(y - 4 = \frac{1}{3}(x + 2)\).
5. The equation is now written in point-slope form: \(y - 4 = \frac{1}{3}(x + 2)\).
