How to write in standard form (2,-3), m=0

Question

How do i write in standard form with the given points (2, -3) m=0?

Answer 1

Hi Bianca.

 

You're given a point and a slope, so first use point-slope form.

 

y - y1 = m*(x - x1)

 

(x1,y1) = (2,-3)

m = 0

 

y - (-3) = 0*(x - 2)

 

y + 3 = 0

 

y = -3

 

Standard for is as follows:

 

Ax + By = C

 

In this case, A is 0, B is 1, and C is -3

 

y = -3 is your final answer.

 

Hope this helps.
