Question

Write an equation in point – slope form from the line through the given point with the given slope. (-10, -1); m=-1

Answer 1

y = -x - 11

Explanation:

We know the equation must be: y = -x + c

However we do not know what "C" is. If we plug in our x and y values then we can find out the value of C.

So:

-1 = -(-10) + c

-1 = 10 + c

so c = -11

So our equation is:

y = -x - 11
