Use point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1)
You are told that y=-x+3. This equation is of the form y=mx+b. Where m=-1. m is the slope. And you have a point (x1,y1) that is (3,-2). With all of this in mind, you then plug all of these details into the point slope formula y-y1=m(x-x1)

In point slope form, you have the following:

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

To turn this into slope intercept form, simplify y-(-2) to get y+2 and distribute in the -1 to get:

y+2=-x+3

Subtract 2 from both sides to get

y=-x+1

In slope intercept form, the answer is
y=-x+1 and in point slope form, the answer is y+2=-x+3

Hope this helps!!!

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 points on the line that land perfectly on the grid. I'll choose these 2 here:

(-2, -1) and (0, 3)

Rise is the change in the y value from one point to the other, and run is the change in the x. Looking at these 2 points, y went from -1 to 3. That is a <em>rise</em> of 4. The x went from -2 to 0, so that is a <em>run</em> of 2. "rise over run" means rise literally over run in a fraction like this:

$m=\frac{rise}{run}$
