The formula for point slope form is $$y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1})$$

simplymarie_x · Answer

So can you plug in your given numbers into that equation?

ffasinger · Answer

I can try , I am not the best at theses things...

simplymarie_x · Answer

Give it a try. :-)

Remember that it gives you the points (2, -1) and points are (x, y).

and m = slope. which it gave you
