Question

For the line with slope -2 and passing through (3,-2) write the equation of the line in:

a) point slope form
b) slope form
c) standard form

point-slope form:
$$y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$$where $m$ is slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point the line goes through

slope form (probably means slope-intercept form):
$$y = mx + b$$ where $b$ is the y-value of the y-intercept
You can get this from the equation for point-slope form simply by solving for $y$

standard form:
$$Ax+By=C$$where $A>0$, $A, B, C$ are integers if possible, and relatively prime (in other words, you can't factor out anything)
