Question

How do I write an equation in point-slope form for m=-3 (-2,-1) ?

Answer 1

Ee a solution process below:
Explanation:
The point-slope formula states:
(
y
−
y
1
)
=
m
(
x
−
x
1
)
Where
m
is the slope and
(
x
1
y
1
)
is a point the line passes through.
Substituting the slope and values from the point in the problem gives:
(
y
−
−
1
)
=

(
x

)
(
y

)
=

Answer 2

Answer:

y + 1 = -3(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m= -3  (-2, -1)

Plug -3 in for the m in the equation, -2 in for x1, and -1 in for y1

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

Subtracting negatives will make them positive

y + 1 = -3(x + 2)

This is the point-slope form, continuing to solve for y will give the y-intercept form.

Y-intercept Form:

y = -3x - 7
