What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (3, 1) and has a slope of –2 ?

Answer 1

y − 1 = -2 (x − 3)

Explanation:

Point slope form is:

y − y₁ = m (x − x₁)

where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.

Given that m = -2 and (x₁, y₁) = (3, 1):

y − 1 = -2 (x − 3)
