Question

Write the equation's of the lines using the given information
m=-2, (3, -7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a line is $y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})$.

Plug in the information given in the problem: y-(-7) = -2(x-3)

So you get y+7 = -2x+6.

The final form you want needs to be equal to y (that means you want y by itself on the left side of the equals), so subtract 7 from both sides.  

You get y = -2x-1

Answer 2

$(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})~\hspace{10em} m = -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-7)}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{3}) \\\\\\ y+7=-2x+6\implies \blacktriangleright y=-2x-1 \blacktriangleleft$
