Question

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point

(1, −2)
and has a slope of 3?


y+1=3(x−2)

y−2=3(x+1)

y+2=3(x−1)

y−1=3(x+2)

Answer 1

Answer: y+2=3(x-1)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\large\boxed{y+2=3(x-1)}`

Explanation:

`\text{The point-slope form:}\\\\y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m-slope\\(x_1,\ y_1)-point\\\\\text{We have the slope}\ m=3\ \text{and the point (1, -2). Substitute:}\\\\y-(-2)=3(x-1)\\\\y+2=3(x-1)`
