Write the point slope form of an equation for a line that passes through each point with the given slope
1. (2,2),m = -3
=========================
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "m" and for "b"
-----------------------
You are told that m = -3
---
You are told that y=2 when x = 2.
--------------
Substitute into the Form to solve for "b":
2 = -3*2 + b
2 = -6 + b
b = 8
-----------------
Equation:
y = -3x + 8
=====================
