Slope-intercept form:

y

=

−

x

+

14

Explanation:

First write a point-slope equation

y

−

y

1

=

m

(

x

−

x

1

)

, where

(

x

1

,

y

1

)

is the given point,

(

4

,

2

)

, and

m

is the slope,

−

3

.

y

−

2

=

−

3

(

x

−

4

)

y

2

=

−

3

x

+

12

For graphing, you can convert to the slope-intercept form,

y

=

m

x

+

b

, by solving for

y

, where

m

is the slope and

b

is the y-intercept.

Add

2

to both sides.

y

=

and

b

=
