Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!! WORTH 10 POINTS!!!!

Write the point-slope form 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. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

Answer 1

First, solve for slope.
Formula for slope:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`
Plug in values:
`(1-(-3))/(4-0) = (4)/(4) = 1`
Slope:
`1`
Second, we must plug into point-slope form.
Formula for point-slope:
`y-y1 = m(x-x1)`
Plug in the values:
`y - (-3) = 1(x-0) = y + 3 = 1(x-0)`

And there you have your answer in point-slope form.
