Slope Formula:
`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

y-intercept (0, 3)

Point (2, -5)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute [SF]:
   `m=(-5-3)/(2-0)`
2. Subtract:
   `m=(-8)/(2)`
3. Divide:
   `m=-4`

Step 3: Write equation

Substitute variables into general form.

y + 5 = -4(x - 2)

y - 3 = -4(x - 0)
