Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through each point with the given slope.

1. (2,2), m = -3
2. (1,-6), m =-1
3. (-3,-4), m=0

Answer 1

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies 0 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-4)}=\stackrel{m}{0}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}]\implies y+4=0(x+3) \\\\\\ y+4=0\implies y=-4`
