Given:
(1,4)
slope: m =-3
Determine the equation in point-slope form.
Point-slope form:
y - y1 = m( x - x1)
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, y1, and m to the formula for the point-slope form.
y - y1 = m( x - x1)
y - 4 = -3(x - 1)
Distribute -3 to the values inside the parenthesis.
y - 4 = -3x + 3
Final answer:
Point-slope form::y - 4 = -3x + 3
