Question

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

Answer 1

Y-3=-1(x+2)

Explanation:

The formula of point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)
In this case we would put -2(the x value) for x1, and 3(the y value) for y1.
When we do this step we get the equation, y-3=-1(x+2). This equation is written in point-slope form. If you want to get the equation in Slope-intercept form, You would get the y value by itself. So we add 3 to both sides. This leaves us with y=-1x+1. Hope I helped.
