Question

What is the point-slope form of a line that has a slope of –4 and passes through point (–3, 1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

y-1= -4(x-(-3))

y minus 1 = negative 4 left-bracket x minus (negative 3) right-bracket

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for point slope form is written: $y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})$. Now we fill in our know information. m=-4 (because that is the slope), $y_{1}$=1 (It is the y value in the ordered pair), $x_{1}$= -3 (It is the x value in the ordered pair).

y-1=-4(x- (-3))
