Question

Write an equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the givin slope (-3,24),m=-2

Answer 1

y - 24 = - 2(x + 3)

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁ )

m is the slope and (x₊, y₊ ) a point on the line

given m = - 2 and (x₁, y₁ ) = - 3, 24 ) , then

y - 24 = - 2( x - (- 3) ) , that is

y - 24 = - 2(x + 3)
