Question

A line passes through the point (-5,1) and has a slope of -3 . Write an equation for this line.

Answer 1

\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
m=slope
\[point = (x_1,y_1)\]

Answer 2

use the formula
\[y-y _{1} = m (x-x _{1})\]

Answer 3

That's how you will start. So it depends what form you want it in
If you want it to look like
\[y=mx+b\]
You will still start with the given equation above.

Answer 4

ok thanx! ill use this formula
