please help me i really need it 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. y - 6 = -3x - 3 y - 6 = -3(x + 1) y = -3x + 3 3x + y = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the equation for point slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to know what the equation of point slope is. It is an equation. This is the equation

|dw:1406168323096:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok what do i do next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the slope is m, meaning its -3.So you plug that int you equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that eliminates, The last two leaving you with the first two.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so then it would be y-yz= -3x-xz?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but then you have to plug the other points in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6 would be your y2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 1 would be my x2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would be my y
