Question

How do you write the equation in point slope form given (3,0), m= -2?

Answer 1

`y=-2(x-3)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in `color(blue)"point-slope form"` is.

`color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y-y_1=m(x-x_1))color(white)(2/2)|)))`
where m represents the slope and `(x_1,y_1)" a point on the line"`

`"here "m=-2" and " (x_1,y_1)=(3,0)`

`rArry-0=-2(x-3)`

`rArry=-2(x-3)larrcolor(red)" in point-slope form"`
