write the equation of the line that contains the given point and has the given slope: (-1,4) slope is -3

Answer 1

Nick,

If you are given the point (x1,y1) and the slope m, you can use the point-slope formula,which is (y - y1) = m(x - x1). In this case, x1 is -1 and y1 is 4, and m is -3. Plug those in to the formula, and then you can solve for y=. Hope this helps.
