The point-slope form of the equation is .

Question

A)
Use the image to answer the question.
Given the graph of a linear function, find the linear equation of the graph in point-slope form.
What is the missing value needed to finish the point-slope form of the equation?
(1 point)
y− = −3 (x − 1)

Answer 1

In point-slope form, the equation of a line is expressed as:

\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]

where \( (x_1, y_1) \) is a point on the line, and \( m \) is the slope.

From the given information, we have:

• The slope \( m = -3 \)
• The x-coordinate \( x_1 = 1 \)

The missing value is \( y_1 \), which is the y-coordinate of the point on the graph.

To find \( y_1 \), you would need the y-coordinate corresponding to the point \( (1, y_1) \) on the graph. Check the graph to find the corresponding y-value for \( x = 1 \) to fill in the missing value in the equation.

If the graph is not provided, I'll need the y-coordinate to complete the point-slope form.
