Find the equation of a line
whose slope is - 3 and which passes through the point ( - 2, 3);
As slope is given m = - 3 and line is passing through point ( - 2, 3).Using slope - intercept form of equation of line, we will find intercept first
y = mx + c ……………….(1)
3 = - 3( - 2) + c
3 = 6 + c
c = 3 - 6
c = - 3
Putting the value of c in equation (1), we have
y = - 3x + ( - 3)
y = - 3x - 3
3x + y + 3 = 0
So, the required equation of line is 3x + y + 3 = 0.
