Write a point-slope equation for the line with the given slope that contains the given point...
m=-3(-2,-5)

Question

anonymous · Answer

y=-3x-11

chaise · Answer

The straight line equation is: y=mx+b

You're given your x coordinate, y coordinate and also your gradient. You are able to solve for b in this equation.

-5 = -3x-2 + b
-5 = 6 + b
b = -11

y = -3x-11

Does this make sense? Do you want me to explain it further?

Yes because my professor said this put what you know into the formula, y-y1=m(x-x1). You know a point which is an x1 & y1 and the slope, m - so put them in
