Hi, there--
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point slope form for the equation of a line.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "In your problem the slope m is 6.
\n" ); document.write( "Using your point (-2,-3), x[1] is -2 and y[1] is -3.
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute these known values into the equation above.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-%28-3%29=6%28x-%28-2%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B3=6%28x%2B2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation for a line with slope 6 going through (-2,-3).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! Feel free to email if there is any part you still have a question about.
