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

anonymous · Answer

Do you know how to start the problem?

anonymous · Answer

not really

anonymous · Answer

well point slope intercept form is y=mx+b You have x and y. is -3 m or b?

anonymous · Answer

I'm not typing don't believe that. -3 is m. Your equation is 4=-3(1)+b you solve the equation to find b

triciaal · Answer

point -slope   y - y1 = m(x - x1)

slope-intercept  y = m x + b

triciaal · Answer

the question says point-slope 
m = slope = -3 and point given (x1, y1) = (1, 4) any point (x, y) 
y - 4 = -3 ( x - 1)

@AJLYAMBER96 
do you see now there is no  "point slope intercept form" ?

anonymous · Answer

that was my bad. Yes I see what you mean. I was relating the two equations.
