write the equation of the line that passes through (3,-2) and has a slope of 4 in point-slope form

Question

I don’t understand point-slope formula and how it correlates with the equation of the line

Answer 1

point slope: (y-y₁) = m (x-x₁)

 

m=slope

y₁=y-coordinate of the given point on the line

x₁ = x-coordinate of the given point on the line

 

In your question, m=4, x₁=3, y₁=-2. All you have to do is plug in the corresponding values in the correct places.
