Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. (12, 5); m = -3

Answer 1

y-5 = -3(x-12)

Explanation:

Answer 2

y - 5 = -3(x - 12)

Explanation:

Point slope form is: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line, and m is the slope of the line.

Plug in the point and the slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -3(x - 12)

So, y - 5 = -3(x - 12) is the equation in point slope form of the line.
