Question

Find a point slope form for the line that satisfies the stated condition

Slope 3,passing through (-4,3)

What is the equation of the line in point-slope form?

Answer 1

y - 3 = 3(x + 4)

Explanation:

The equation of the line that passing through point (x₁, y₁) and has a slope of m is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

slope: m = 3

point: (-4, 3) ⇒ x₁ = -4, y₁ = 3

Therefore, the equation of the line in point-slope form:

y - 3 = 3(x - (-4))

y - 3 = 3(x + 4)
