Question

How do you write an equation in point slope form given slope -2, (3, 1)?

Answer 1

point-slope form `(y-1)=-2(x-3)`

`y-1 =-2x+6`

slope-intercept form `y=-2x+7`

Explanation:

We will use the point slope form to get the equation of the line.

`(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)`

Where m is the slope

`m=-2`
`x_1=3`
`y_1=1`

`(y-1)=-2(x-3)`

`y-1 =-2x+6`

`y=-2x+7`
