Question

From the equation y−3=−2(x+1), identify the slope and a point on the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - 2, point on line = (- 1, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 3 = - 2(x + 1) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - 2 and (a, b ) = (- 1, 3 )
