Question

(a) Write the point–slope form of a function that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (11, 2).

Answer 1

a. Point-slope form is: y - y0 = m(x - x0). Plugging in our values, we get: y - 2 = -3(x - 11). Typically we can just leave it like this, but for the sake of simplifying it down to slope-intercept form, it would be y = -3x + 35.

b. y - 2 = -3((0) - 11)

y - 2 = 33

y = 35.

c. y = -3x + 35.
