Standard form of equation is #color(violet)(x + y -3 = 0#

Standard form of equation is #Ax + By + C = 0#

Given #m = -1, x_1 = -1, y_1 = 4#

Slope point from of equation is #y - y_1 = m (x - x_1)#

#y - 4 = -1 * (x + 1)#

#y + x - 4 + 1 = 0#

graph{-x + 3 [-9.63, 10.37, -4.24, 5.76]}

Standard form of equation is #color(violet)(x + y -3 = 0#
