(3,3)(3,-3), slope 33

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

Using yy1=m(xx1)y-y_1=m(x-x_1) or the Point-Slope Form of linear equations, the equation of the line with the given conditions,

y1=3,x1=3,m=3,\begin{align*} y_1=-3 ,\\x_1=3 ,\\m=3 ,\end{align*}

is

y(3)=3(x3)y+3=3(x3).\begin{align*} y-(-3)&=3(x-3) \\\\ y+3&=3(x-3) .\end{align*}

In the form y=mx+by=mx+b or the Slope-Intercept Form, the equation above is equivalent to

y+3=3x9y=3x93y=3x12.\begin{align*} y+3&=3x-9 \\\\ y&=3x-9-3 \\\\ y&=3x-12 .\end{align*}
