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?

A. y-1=-3(x-4)
B. y+4=3(x+1)
C. y+4=-3(x+1)
D. y-4=-3(x-1)

Answer 1

Help? Anyone?

Answer 2

point-slope form
\[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\]
m is generally considered the slope

so what's left is determine which is x1 and which is y1 from (1,4)

Answer 3

So it would be D.?

Answer 4

D. y-4=-3(x-1)

That is correct. @Owen_Turner
