The Slope is 3, and the line passes through the line point (-2, 1)

Question

Write an equation of a Line Using the point-Slope Formula

Answer 1

Ok, so the point-slope form is:

y-k = m(x-h)  where m is the slope and (h,k) is the given point.

 

Since you are given  m = 3 ,  and (h,k) = (-2,1)

y-1 = 3(x +2)

 

 

Since your question specified using the point-slope form, make sure you use this equation when answering it. Otherwise, you may get it wrong.

Answer 2

y -y1 =m(x-x1) m=3 x1=-2 y1=1 y-1=3(x- -2) y - 1 = 3(x+2) since you want point slope form, do not simplify past that.
