What is the point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through the point (1, 4) and has a slope of −3?

Question

godlovesme · Answer

Point-slope formula is y-y1= m(x-,x1

godlovesme · Answer

Y1 is ur given y coordinate while x1 is ir x and m is slope can u try :)

anonymous · Answer

I don't get that, its kinda confusing

anonymous · Answer

y-4?

mathstudent55 · Answer

@Godlovesme meant to write:
$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$
Replace $y_1$ with the y of the point, 4.
Replace $x_1$ with the x of the point, 1.
Replace $m$, the slope, with the given slope, -3

godlovesme · Answer

yeah y-y1= m(x-x1)
y1--> y coordinate 
x1 --> x coordinate
m--> slope 
sorry for the confusion =0

lol its ok, im writing it out now

godlovesme · Answer

;D

anonymous · Answer

so what do i do with y-4=-3(x-1)?

godlovesme · Answer

that's it :) wait r u asked to write it in slope-intercept or standard form?

anonymous · Answer

point slope form

godlovesme · Answer

then that's all

anonymous · Answer

ooh
