Question

What is the equation of the line in point-slope form that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (5, 9)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y-9=-3(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is given as

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Here m=-3 and (x1, y1)=(5, 9)

Therefore,

$y-9=-3(x-5)$
