We are asked to find the equation of the line, using the given information:
, which is the slope
which is a point that the line contains
- The slope is the number before x, in the form
.
Since "m" is the slope, and we're given what the slope is, we can substitute -3 for m:
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Now, we need to find the y intercept, "b", of the line.
Here's how it's done:
Remember the point that the line contains, (1,2)?
Well, its y-coordinate is 2; so what we do is substitute 2 for y:
Also, its x-coordinate is 1, so we substitute 1 for x:
Now, solve for b:
Add 3 to both sides:
Thus, we have
Thus, the equation of the line is:
