Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope of -3.

Answer 1

\(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
&({\color{red}{ -1}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 6}})\quad
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= -3
\\ \quad \\

y-{\color{blue}{ y_1}}={\color{green}{ m}}(x-{\color{red}{ x_1}})\qquad \textit{plug in the values }\\
\qquad \uparrow\\
