Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope.

(2, 1); m=−32

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ - 32 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{- 32}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2}) \end{array}}`
