Question

jennithemeani · Answer

First you have to find the b, do you know how?

jennithemeani · Answer

oops nope nvm you do not need the b for this one

jennithemeani · Answer

$$y-y^1= m (x-x^1)$$ this is point slope form so just fill it out

jennithemeani · Answer

y-3=3(x-1)

madmerc · Answer

okay but what do I do with that?

jennithemeani · Answer

Nothing, that is the answer in point slope form. You don't have to do anything else

madmerc · Answer

these are my choices:
 y – 1 = 2(x – 3)
 y – 3 = 2(x – 1)
 x – 1 = 2(y – 3)
 x – 3 = 2(y – 1)

jennithemeani · Answer

It the second one. Sorry I accidentally made the m 3 instead of 2

madmerc · Answer

that's okay! thanks for your help!
