Question

write the point-slope form of the equation of the line through the given points through (0,-1) and (3,-3)

Answer 1

$\text{Given that,}\\\\(x_1,y_1) = (0,-1) ~ \text{and}~ (x_2, y_2) = (3,-3)\\\\\text{Slope, m}= \dfrac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \dfrac{-3+1}{3-0} = -\dfrac 23\\\\\\\text{Point slope - form}\\\\y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\\\\implies y - (-1) = -\dfrac 23 (x -0)\\\\\implies y +1 = -\dfrac 23 x$
