Question

What is the equation in standard form of the line which passes through (4, –2) and has a slope of –3?

Answer 1

@Fanduekisses <3<3

Answer 2

You need to use the point slope formula

Answer 3

\[y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\]

Answer 4

Plug in what you were given

Answer 5

Jesus thats confusing oh dear lord

Answer 6

m = rise/run ??

Answer 7

yes, m = slope which in this case is -3

Answer 8

What about 4, -2??
I'm sorry this is very confusing >.<

Answer 9

remember (x,y) so x=4 and y = -2

Answer 10

but plug them in the\[x_{1} and
y _{1} \]

Answer 11

\[(y--2)=-3(x-4) \]

Answer 12

Simply/ distribute

Answer 13

then get it in standard form which is in Ax + By + C = 0

Answer 14

After simplifying you should have: \[y+2=-3x+4\]

Answer 15

then get it in standard form

Answer 16

What would be standard form exactly ?

Answer 17

???

Answer 18

No, the standard form is Ax+Bx= C
