Question

Write the point-slope form with two points ..of the given line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (4, 1). Identify (x1, y1) as (0, -3). Include your work in your final answer. Please SHOW ALL WORK.

Answer 1

You need to find the slope too.
$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} = \frac{ - 3 - 1}{0 - 4} = \frac{ - 4}{ - 4} = \frac{1}{1}$
point slope formula y - y1 = m(x - x1)
use (0, -3)
y - (-3) = 1 (x -0)
y + 3 = 1x
