Question 324894: Find a linear equation whose graph has the indicated slope and passes through the given point.
slope -2, point (2,1) Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the point-slope formula.
y - a = m(x - b)
(2,1) = (b,a)
y - 1 = -2(x - 2)
y - 1 = -2x + 4
y = -2x + 4 + 1
y = -2x + 5
