Question

What is the point slope form of a line that has a slope of -4 and passes through point (-3,1)

Answer 1

The point-slope formula is: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We know the slope is -4 and the ordered pair $(x_1,y_1)$ is (-3,1)

So plug it in: $y-1=-4(x-(-3))$

$y-1=-4(x+3)$

That is the point slope form

You can simplify it further to slope-intercept form if you want to, which helps graph it in my opinion
