Question

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through point (–3, 8) is y = –x + 6. What is the point-slope form of the equation for this line?

Answer 1

Answer: y-8=-1(x+3)

the formula for pain-slope form is:

$y-y_{1}=m(x- x_{1})$

(where $y_{1}$ =a known y coordinate & $x_{1}$ =a known x coordinate.

Now just plug in the data...

y-8=-1(x--3)
y-8=-1(x+3)
