Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

I don't get that, its kinda confusing

Answer 4

y-4?

Answer 5

@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

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

lol its ok, im writing it out now

Answer 8

;D

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

point slope form

Answer 12

then that's all

Answer 13

ooh

Answer 14

You are correct.
Good job!
