Problem

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,3) and has a slope of -1.

Solution

Step 1 :The point-slope form of a line is given by \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\), where \((x_1,y_1)\) is a point on the line and \(m\) is the slope of the line.

Step 2 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \(y-3=-1(x-2)\)

Step 3 :Simplify the equation: \(y-3=-(x-2)\) to get \(y=-x+5\)
