Write an equation in POINT SLOPE FORM of a line through point J(3,-2) with a slope of -5.(2 points)

Answer 1

The point-slope form of a linear equation is given by y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) is the given point and m is the slope.

Using this formula, we can substitute the given values:
y - (-2) = -5(x - 3)

Simplifying, we have:
y + 2 = -5x + 15

This equation in point-slope form represents a line through point J(3,-2) with a slope of -5.
