Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given (3,5) and m=-2?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

The point-slope formula states: `(y - color(red)(y_1)) = color(blue)(m)(x - color(red)(x_1))`

Where `color(blue)(m)` is the slope and `color(red)(((x_1, y_1)))` is a point the line passes through.

Sub substituting the point and slope from the problem gives:

`(y - color(red)(5)) = color(blue)(-2)(x - color(red)(3))`
