The is written as
y−y1=m(x−x1).
From the exercise we know the
-3, which is
m. The coordinates
(2,13) are
x1 and
y1. Put them into the form to get the line's equation in point-slope form.
y−13=-3(x−2)
Now, we just have to solve for
y and simplify in order to rewrite the equation in its .
y−13=-3(x−2)
y=-3(x−2)+13
y=-3x+6+13
y=-3x+19
The point-slope form and slope-intercept form are written the line as
y−13=-3(x−2)andy=-3x+19.
