If a line passes through (3,-1) and has a slope of -1,how would you write the equation?
\n" ); document.write( "

Use the point-slope formula: 
\n" );
document.write( "y - - 1 = - 1(x - 3) ------ Substituting (3, - 1) for , and - 1 for m
\n" );
document.write( "y + 1 = - x + 3 =====> y = - x + 3 - 1 =====>  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
