WHICH form do you mean? Point-slope OR Slope-Intercept?

The given data easily will fit into Point-Slope form, as for a given slope m and given included point (h,k).

You can adjust into slope-intercept form if you want.

it goes through point (, )
it has a slope of
the formula for the equation is:
where is a slope and and coordinates of given point










Answer by josmiceli(19441)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the general point-slope formula


Multiply both sides by




-------------------------
check: does it go through ( -2,-6 ) ?



OK
