Question

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope.
(-6, -3), m= -1

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 7 = -1 * (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Given:

(x1, y1) = (-6, -3)

m (slope) = -1

Plug it in:

y - (-6) = -1(x - (-3) )

y + 7 = -(x+3)

Answer: y + 7 = -1 * (x + 3)
