Question

writea point-slope equation for the line with the given slope that contains the given point.

m=-3;(-2,-5)

Answer 1

The slope m = - 3 and the point (x₁, y₁) = (- 2, - 5).

Substitute m = - 3 and (x₁, y₁) = (- 2, - 5) in the point-slope form y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is slope and (x₁, y₁) is point.

y - (- 5) = (- 3)[x - (- 2)]

y + 5 = - 3(x + 2).

The point-slope form of line equation is y + 5 = - 3(x + 2).
