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

Do you know how to start the problem?

Answer 2

not really

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

point -slope y - y1 = m(x - x1)

slope-intercept y = m x + b

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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