Question

A line passes through the point (5, -3) and has a slope of -3. Write an equation in .point-slope form for this line.​

Answer 1

Answer: y + 3 = -3(x - 5)

Work Shown:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-3) = -3(x - 5)

y + 3 = -3(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable m refers to the slope. The point (x1,y1) is on the line. We do not distribute the -3 through to the terms in (x-5), nor do we isolate y, since your teacher wants this in point-slope form.
