What is the equation of -2 passing through (3,-1)

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we?

So, we must find the equation of a line with the given slope m = -2 passing through the point (3, -1). We must use the point slope formula such that

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = -2(x - 3)

y + 1 = -2x + 6

y = -2x + 6 - 1

y = -2x + 5

I hope this helped!
