Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1,3) and has a slope of -- 32

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the point (1,3) and has a slope  of -32.

$y=-32x+35$

Please check the attached graph too.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• Point (1, 3)

• The slope m = -32

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where

• m is the slope of the line

• (x₁, y₁) is the point

In our case:

m = -32

(x₁, y₁) = (1, 3)

substituting m = -32 and (x₁, y₁) = (1, 3) in the point-slope form of the line equation

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-3=-32\left(x-1\right)$

Add 3 to both sides

$y-3+3=-32\left(x-1\right)+3$

Simplify

$y=-32x+35$

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (1,3) and has a slope  of -32.

$y=-32x+35$
