Write an equation in point slope form that passes through (-1 2) with a slope of -1/3

y - 2 = -1/3(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form equation

y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1)

m = slope

We are given the slope

Slope m = -1/3

Substitute m into the equation y - y_1 = -1/3(x - x _1)

Substitute the point

( -1 , 2)

x_1 = -1

y_1 = 2

y - 2 = -1/3 ( x -(-1))

y - 2 = -1/3( x + 1)

We do not open the bracket except if we are to write the equation of a line in slope intercept form.
