You can put this solution on YOUR website!
TO MAKE THE LINEAR LINE:
you use the point-slope intercept form:
point = (x(SUB1),y(SUB1)) = (-2,3)
x(SUB1)= -2
y(SUB1)= 3
m=slope
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y - y(SUB1) = m(x - x(SUB1))
y - 3 = -1(x + 2)
y - 3 = -x - 2
y = -x + 1

use the point slope form
y-y1=m%28x-x1%29
plug in your slope, M, and your values for y1 and x1.
y-3=-1%28x-%28-2%29%29 distribute the -1
y-3=-x-2 add -3 to both sides
y=-x%2B1 this is slope intercept form
