A line with a slope of -2 passes through the point (4, 7). Write an equation for this line in point-slope form.

Question

I really don't understand slopes so the more ways that you have on how I can show my work the better.

Answer 1

y -7 = -2(x-4) is the equation in point slope form for a line with slope = -2 through the point (4,7)

slope = how much a line, the y value, increases (or decreases) as x increases from left to right
