You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the point-slope formula y - b = m(x - a) where b = 3, a = -2 and m = -2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just plug and chug and then isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y - 3 = -2(x - (-2))\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y - 3 = -2(x + 2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y - 3 = -2x - 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x - 4 + 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x - 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Done! \n" ); document.write( "
