Answer:

Below

Explanation:

The point-slope form of a line is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

Given that the line contains the point (-2, 1) we know that this point is on the line, so we can use it as (x1, y1) in the point-slope form.

By using the point (-2,1) we can write the point-slope form of the line as:

y - 1 = m(x + 2)

This means that the point-slope form of a line with slope that contains the point (-2, 1) is y - 1 = m(x + 2) where m is the slope of the line.
