Find the equation of a line that passes through (-2,3) and has a slope of -1
1.Find Slope
m=
2. Pick a point
3. Plug in AND solve for b
y=mx+b
b=
4. Write the equation using m and b from step 1 and 2
1. The given slope is -1.
2. The given point is (-2, 3).
3. Using the point-slope form, we have:
3 = -1(-2) + b
3 = 2 + b
b = 3 - 2
b = 1
4. The equation of the line is:
y = -x + 1
