<u>ANSWER: </u>
The slope of the given equation is -2 and a point on the given line is (-1, 3)
<u>SOLUTION:</u>
Given, linear equation in two variables is y – 3 = -2(x + 1) ----- eqn (1)
We need to find the slope of the given equation and a point through which the given line passes.
Given equation is in the form of point slope form .i.e --- eqn 2
where,"m" is the slope of the line
is point on that line.
Now, by comparing (1) and (2)
m = -2
so, the slope of the given equation is -2 and a point on the given line is (-1, 3)
