Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that has the given slope m and that passes through the given point. m = −2; (0, 1)

Answer 1

y - 1 = -2x

Explanation:

point-slope form is: y - y1 = m(x - x1) so with what is given:

y - 1 = -2(x)

Answer 2

`y - 1 = -2x`

Explanation:

The Point slope formula is
`y - y_(1) = m(x-x_(1))`

To solve, just plug in the values:

`y-1 = -2(x-0)\\y - 1 = -2x`
