Write the equation of the line that passes through point (-2,3) with a slope of -4. Please help me Rule: -------------------------------------------------------------------- To write the equation of the line that passes through point (x1, y1) with a slope of m is gotten by plugging in the formula below and simplifying: y - y1 = m(x - x1) ------------------------------------------------------------------- In your case (x1, y1) = (-2, 3), and m = -4, So x1 = -2 and y1 = 3 y - y1 = m(x - x1) becomes y - 3 = -4(x - (-2) ) y - 3 = -4(x + 2) y - 3 = -4x - 8 y = -4x - 5 Edwin
