Question

What is the point slope form of the line passing through (-2,3), with slope m=-1?

Answer 1

`color(blue)((y - 3 ) = -1 * (x + 2)`

Explanation:

Point slope form of an equation is `(y - y_1) = m (x - x_1)`

Given : `x_1 = -2, y_1 = 3, slope = m = -1`

`(y - 3 ) = -1 * (x + 2)`

Answer 2

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

Explanation:

`"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"point-slope form"` is.

`•color(white)(x)y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

`"here "m=-1" and "(x_1,y_1)=(-2,3)`

`rArry-3=-1(x-(-2))`

`rArry-3=-(x+2)larrcolor(red)"in point-slope form"`
