Question

find an equation of the line having the given characteristics. Express your answer using either the general form or the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, whichever you prefer. Graph the line

Slope -2 containing the point (3, -1)

Answer 1

Slope -2 containing the point (3, -1)

Write the relation for slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)

(y-(-1))= -2(x-3)

y+1 = -2x+6

2x+y = 5

Draw the equation of the line.
