Given:

The slope of the line is -3.

The line passes through the point (2,-2).

To find:

The point-slope form of the line.

Solution:

Point slope form: If a line passes through the point
(x_1,y_1) with slope m, then the point-slope form of the line is:


y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The slope of the line is -3 and it passes through the point (2,-2). So, the point-slope form of the line is:


y-(-2)=-3(x-2)


y+2=-3(x-2)

Therefore, the required point slope form of the given line is
y+2=-3(x-2).
