Question

write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (3, 5) and has a slope or -1

Answer 1

y = -x + 8

Explanation:

m = -1 ; x1 = 3 ; y1 = 5

Slope point form: y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 5 = -1(x - 3)

y - 5 = -1x - 3 *(-1)

y - 5 =-x + 3

y = -x + 3 + 5

y = -x + 8
