Question

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form that passes through the given point with the given slope.

Problem 1. (1, 5); m = -3

Problem 2. (-4, 3); m = 2

Answer 1

y=-3x+8

Explanation:

solution (1)

slope equation formula,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m=-3 and x1=1 and y1=5

putting value,we get

y-5=-3(x-1)

y-5=-3x+3

y=-3x+8
