Question

What is the point-slope form of the equation for the line with a slope of -2 that passes through (1,4)?

Answer 1

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-4=-2(x-1)`
