What is the equation of the line for (-2,-3) and m= -1

Answer 1

1. As stated above, use the point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁).
2. Substitute the variables to get the following equation: y + 3 = -1(x + 2).
3. m = -1
4. x₁ = -2
5. y₁ = -3
6. Use the distributive property to simplify the right side of the equation: y + 3 = -x - 2.
7. Solve for y by subtracting -3 on each side y = -x - 5.

Answer: y = -x - 5

Answer 2

Use point-slope form:

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