As you can see, if your polynomial or rational function has many factors, the Factor Method can be much faster.

Enter an equation in point-slope form for the line. Slope is 4 and (−3, −1) is on the line. The equation of the line in point sl
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

y + 1 = 4 (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y - y1 = m (x - x1), so you put the variables in to y1 and x1 plus add the slope in as m, and there you are! Point slope form.

Hope this helps!
