Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of an equation of a line:
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>(x₁, y₁)</em><em> - a point on a line</em>
We have
Substitute:
Convert to the slope-intercept form
<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>
<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>
<em>use the distributive property</em>
<em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>
