The equation for point-slope is y-yi=m(x-xi).

In your given problems, you would use the given coordinate and plug in the x for xi and the y coordinate for yi. The y and x are left alone ( this is how you solve for y=mx+b).

Ex. #1: (2,2) m=-3

Equation: y-yi = m(x-xi)
y-2 ( y coordinate) = -3(x-2)(the x coordinate).
Simplify y-2 = -3x+6 —> y=-3x+8
