Question

Write the point-slope form with two points ..of the given line that passes through the points (0, -3) and (4, 1). Identify (x1, y1) as (0, -3). Include your work in your final answer. Please SHOW ALL WORK.

Answer 1

you need to find the slope too.

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = ( - 3 - 1)/(0 - 4) = ( - 4)/( - 4) = (1)/(1)`
point slope formula y - y1 = m(x - x1)
use (0, -3)
y - (-3) = 1 (x -0)
y + 3 = 1x
