#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)#

#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"#
