Question

the slope of the line below is -3. use the coordinates of the labeled point to find a slope-point equation of the line. (5,-7)

Answer 1

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -3 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-7)=-3(x-5) \\\\\\ y+7=-3x+15\implies y=-3x+8`
