Question
Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line passing through the two points.$$(3,-1),(2,-3)$$
Step 1
The formula for the slope (m) is given by: $$ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} $$ Substituting the given points (3,-1) and (2,-3) into the formula, we get: $$ m = \frac{-3 - (-1)}{2 - 3} = \frac{-2}{-1} = 2 $$ Show more…
