Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

\[\huge y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
where
m=slope
(x1,y1)

Answer 4

right....

Answer 5

Can you plug in the given info? :) And let me know what you get.

Answer 6

y-7=-1/5(x--3)

Answer 7

y-7=-1/5(x--3)
- + - = +
\[\huge~\rm~y-7=-1/5(x\bf{+}3) \]

Answer 8

ok, so now what d i do?

Answer 9

Thats all =) that is point slope form
