Question

Find a point-slope form for the line that satisfies the stated conditions.
Slope 3, passing through (-6, 1)
The equation of the line in point-slope form is (Simplify your answer. Type your answer in point-slope form.)

Answer 1

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

In this case, the slope is 3 and the point given is (-6, 1).

Substituting these values into the point-slope form equation, we get:

y - 1 = 3(x - (-6))
y - 1 = 3(x + 6)
y - 1 = 3x + 18

Therefore, the equation of the line in point-slope form is y - 1 = 3x + 18.
